What you'll see
A squat seafront castle on a tiny islet, free to walk up for views of Vesuvius across the bay, then a long walk along the seafront promenade.
A brief history
Its name, 'egg castle', comes from a legend that the poet Virgil hid a magic egg in its foundations: if it ever breaks, Naples falls.
