A seaside castle in Naples

Castel dell’Ovo

Castel dell’Ovo in Naples, illuminated by the late-afternoon sun, overlooking the bay beneath a cloudy sky
14/14

As I reach the seafront after walking along Via Chiaia, Castel dell’Ovo immediately catches my eye. Standing on its small rocky promontory overlooking the bay, the castle is beautifully illuminated by the last rays of the sun on this autumn afternoon.
I particularly like the warm light that brings out the different shades of the stone, as well as the sky, filled with beautiful clouds that add depth to the scene. I take a few shots of this iconic Naples landmark, which seems almost to float between the sea and the sky. A lovely first encounter with this castle and its seaside setting.
