Funicular railways have connected Vomero to the lower quarters of Naples since the 1880s, when the Chiaia and Montesanto lines first opened. This hilltop neighbourhood sits roughly 150 metres above sea level on the Vomero hill, home to about 44,791 residents within the Municipalita 5 administrative boundary. Castel Sant'Elmo, a star-shaped fortress originally built by the Angevins in 1329 and reshaped under the Spanish in the sixteenth century, crowns the summit and provides panoramic views stretching from Vesuvius to the islands of Procida and Ischia.
Adjacent to the fortress, the Certosa di San Martino - a former Carthusian monastery - houses one of Naples' principal museums, with collections of Neapolitan presepe figurines and maritime artefacts. Via Scarlatti and Via Luca Giordano form the commercial spine of the district, lined with shops and cafes that draw residents from across the city. The Funicolare Centrale, departing from Piazzetta Augusteo near Via Toledo, carries over ten million passengers annually and remains the quickest route between the historic centre and Vomero. Villa Floridiana, a neoclassical estate surrounded by English-style gardens, contains the Museo Nazionale della Ceramica Duca di Martina with its collection of European and East Asian porcelain.
