Sites and Bites: palaces and pizza fritta in Naples

From there, you'll wander through the elegant Galleria Umberto I, and catch a glimpse of Europe's oldest opera house, before diving into the buzz of the Pignasecca street market.Next, we'll head down Spaccanapoli – the street that slices Naples in two. As you stroll past the timeworn churches and crumbling palaces, you'll get to sample some Neapolitan classics – cuoppo di frittura, a paper cone full of fried bites, and pizza fritta, pizza dough that's deep-fried instead of baked. It's crispy on the outside, soft and chewy inside, and typically filled with tasty ingredients before being sealed and fried like a calzone.Then, you'll tuck into some sweet treats – sfogliatelle and babà, two classic Neapolitan pastries that are impossible to resist. You'll also stop off at Via Toledo Metro station, home to colourful mosaics and murals. It's part of the city's 'Art Stations' initiative, where international artists and architects have transformed metro stations into immersive art spaces.
