VIA TOLEDO, Subway

You have reached the clearing where the "Toledo" stop of the metro's Line 1 is located, which is the fulcrum of the circuit of the "Naples Metro Stazioni dell'Arte", or Art Stations.

At the intersection with Via Armando Diaz you can see the modern steel statue of the Knight of Toledo by a South African sculptor. Can you see those three hexagonal structures covered with blue and ocher tiles? They are the skylight of the atrium of the station below, and offer a sample of its original underground decoration.

 Even if you don't have to take the metro, I highly suggest going down there anyways to admire this masterpiece of contemporary art, a spectacular and monumental "container" of amazing installations by world famous artists. Since its inauguration in 2013, the Toledo metro stop has been a huge success not only because of its functionality, which finally allows residents to get around the Carità and Spanish Quarters without having to face the monstrous Neapolitan traffic, but also and above all for its design by a Spanish architect that has received prestigious architectural accolades....
