You know this square is important the second you walk in. For one, there’s that monumental baroque Obelisk of San Domenico right in the middle, one of Naple’s three plague spires, a pyramid on three bases, with lots of decorative marble and sculpturework. Then there’s the fact the square used to be the Greek eastern boundary of Neapolis. A number of seriously important buildings surround it:

• Sansevero Chapel
• Palazzo Petrucci
• The Chiesa di San Domenico Maggiore (this has a rear facade for the sake of appearances)
• Palazzo Saluzzo Corigliano
• Palazzo di Sangro of Casacalenda
• Palazzo Carafa della Spina
• Palazzo di Sangro
