Castle of the egg



According to the legend the Siren Parthenope committed suicide upon a hill of the Sorrento peninsula. Her body was brought, by the wawes, on a small beach on the Megaride islet. Here the Norman castle, known as the Castle of the Egg, was built during the eleventh century, upon the remains of a huge roman villa belonging to Licinio Lucullo . It is considered to be the oldest castle in the town of Naples. The area around the castle represents the first nucleous of the town, called Parthenope, which was built by Greek people during the 7th century B.C.
We will visit the Hall of the columns, which contains roman remains of the patrician villa, the suqare were the cannons are still in their original position. From the terraces of hte castle the view on the bay of Naples is one of the best.
