Why you should visit it
Upon visiting San Carlo, Stendhal said: “There is nothing in all of Europe comparable to this theatre, that gives the slightest idea of what it is like. It dazzles the eyes, enraptures the soul”. Located in the centre of Naples between the Royal Palace and Galleria Umberto I, it’s a sight that will amaze you with its beauty.
