Prisoners were vanishing from the dungeons of Castel Nuovo, nothing left but a smear of blood on the stone. People adopted a stranger’s skull and whispered lottery numbers to them. Three times a year, worshippers hold their breath as a vial of dried blood either melts or doesn't.
This self-guided walking tour leads you across nearly four kilometres of Spaccanapoli. Stand where a queen once cursed prisoners to a blindfolded walk, and step into a chapel holding a Christ carved, impossibly, from one block of marble. Start any time and pause whenever a cup of coffee or a slice of pizza calls you. Skip keeping pace with a group or a guide rushing you past a stop you wanted to explore.
A self-guided audio tour on your phone, with map directions and narration in your language.
