Castel Nuovo, or Maschio Angioino, is a medieval castle located in the heart of Naples, Italy. Built-in the 13th century during the reign of Charles I of Anjou, hence its alternate name, Maschio Angioino, meaning "Angevin Keep", it served as a royal residence, a military fortress, and a symbol of political power. The castle is characterized by its imposing medieval architecture, featuring massive stone walls, towers, and a distinctive angular profile. The central tower, or "maschio", gives the castle its name and stands as a symbol of strength and authority. It boasts the triumphal arch known as the "Arco di Trionfo", which was added in the 15th century, and the Sala dei Baroni, a grand hall adorned with stunning frescoes.
