One of the most important, famous, symbolic squares in the centre of Naples.
It is located in a central position with respect to the old town centre, a short walk from Via Toledo, Piazza Dante, Piazza Monteoliveto and Piazza San Domenico Maggiore; and it is crossed by the famous street, Spaccanapoli, which literally means “Naples-splitter” and it gets this name from the fact that, from above, it seems to divide the city into two parts.
Piazza del Gesù can only be reached on foot. On the façade, you can see the UNESCO plaque, explaining the reasons for which the old town centre became a World Heritage Site.
