Street art tour of the Spanish Quarters & Maradona idol

A journey through Neapolitan street art of the Spanish Quartres dedicated to the city's great icons and the myth of Maradona
Naples is one of those cities particularly attached to the pivotal icons that have created its identity. It never fails to praise the great Neapolitan figures of history, theater, culture, poetry and soccer who have made this city great.
The Spanish Quarters bears witness to this unconditional love for this human cultural heritage by memorializing these icons with as many as 200 murals scattered in every corner of the neighborhood.
But the Spanish Quarters, in particular, testify even more to the great importance of soccer in Naples and the timeless admiration and love for what has gone down in history as "the hero of Naples”: Diego Armando Maradona.
In fact, football in Naples represents a faith of which Maradona has been and continues to be the god. Sacred and profane also mingle in this in a mystical exaltation of the 'Pibe de oro' to whom altars, murals and photos are dedicated.
Continuous pilgrimages by tourists from all over the world make their way daily to Piazza Maradona in the Quartieri Spagnoli, where extends the large mural dedicated to him in the 1990 trophy victory. Today a historic testimony and renewed object of worship after the third and recent national victory.
We will start from Via Toledo, one of the main arteries of the city of Naples, and go up to the Spanish Quarters. The neighborhoods wanted and built in the 16th century by Spanish viceroy Don Pedro de Toledo, which has always been one of the pulsating and folkloric hearts of the city.
We will visit the approximately 200 murals that characterize this neighborhood. From those designed and linked to the project of Cyop&Kaf, two young street artists linked to the Neapolitan scenery, with bright and distinctive colors. To all those linked to our famous cultural icons: Totò, Luciano De Crescenzo, Eduardo De Filippo, Eleonora Pimentel Fonseca, etc.
The "Veiled Isis" that recalls the sculptural group found in the San Severo Chapel and belongs to the genealogy of the Veiled Christ.
All the way to the large mural dedicated to Maradona plus all his minors in every corner of the neighborhood. Since winning the third national soccer trophy in May 2023, everything in Naples has been about the soccer team and even more about Maradona. Undisputed hero of the city since winning the first trophy in 1987.
You cannot come to Naples and miss this tour, because you would miss the true soul of this city.
