The original inhabitants, the greek sailors of Rhodos who founded the ancient colony Parthenope or Palaepolis, were defeated by the Cumae in the V century b.c. after a naval battle in the ancient harbour.
Neapolis or new city was founded by the Cumae in 470 b.c.
It is this city, Naples, that was to become one of the most historical cities in Italy.
Filled with a wealth of Greek art, architecture and learning, it became a source of inspiration for the Romans. Conquered by the Romans, the Goths, the Byzantines, the Normans , the French, the Spanish, it was after the Angevin conquest that Naples was reformed by a constructive urban growth. Naples was to enjoy her golden years under the reign of the Bourbon Kings and become a profitable trading port.
Due to the important logistic position in the Mediterranean, Naples is today the largest Italian port with an annual turn over of over 500 million euro.
The year 2005 experienced a cargo traffic of 18 million tons.
The arrival of cruise liners increased 14.3% in the year 2001, only to be multiplied four times over in the year 2007.
With the launch of several new luxury cruise ships in the coming year, and the increasing numbers of tourists, the port of Naples is expected to break all records!
