About the Castel Sant'Elmo
Castel Sant'Elmo is a fortress from the Middle Ages on Vomero Hill in Naples, Italy, next to the Certosa di San Martino. The name comes from a 10th-century church that bore the name Sant'Erasmo, later shortened to Ermo and then Elmo. The fortress stands near the upper end of the Petraio, one of the earliest pedestrian routes between the upper and lower city.
Documents record a structure on the site from 1275, in the era of Charles of Anjou. It was known originally as Belforte. In 1329, King Robert of Naples had the fortress enlarged on plans by Tino da Camaino, an architect from Siena. An earthquake in 1456 badly damaged the Angevin walls and towers. The Aragonese later rebuilt it with a six-pointed star plan between 1537 and 1547, following designs by the Valencian military architect Pedro Luis Escriva. The unusual plan drew fierce criticism, and Escriva published a defense of it in 1538.
A lightning strike set off the munitions depot in 1587, destroying the church and officers' quarters. Reconstruction followed between 1599 and 1601 under Domenico Fontana. The castle is built of volcanic tufa and served as a military prison until 1952. A restoration begun in 1976 cleared centuries of additions. It is used as a museum, an exhibition hall, and offices; an auditorium seating 700 was created in its underground chambers.
