Sant'Elmo Castle is a 16th century fortress located on the Vomero hill in Naples. The double-pincers plan and the high walls sculpted in tuff stone make the castle an important example of fortified architecture. In the parade ground there is Novecento a Napoli Museum, with its collection of 20th century art. In the outer spaces of the castle are located several site-specific installations, realized from the beginnings of 21st century by italian artists, dialoguing with the architecture and with the landscape which the castle overlooks from the top. Castel Sant'Elmo collaborates with the network "Campania tra le mani" to offer visits to people with disabilities.
