Napoli, Italy

This was sent by my friend, Bettina. This is the Castel dell Ovo, also known as Egg Castle. It is located on a small island in the bay of Naples. The castle was built by the Normans in the 12th century. Legend says that the poet Virgil had a magical egg put in the foundations to support them. If the egg breaks, the castle will collapse and Naples will be struck with bad luck.

It is located in the Emelia-Romagna Region and is known for its ceramics.
