Lonely Planet review

Dominated by the iconic Castel Nuovo, Piazza Municipio isn't looking its best at the moment as construction continues on the new metro system. At the head of the square stands the 19th-century Palazzo San Giacomo. Attached to it is the 16th-century Chiesa San Giacomo degli Spagnoli, burial place of 16th-century Spanish viceroy Don Pedro de Toledo and his wife Maria. On the northern flank stands the Teatro Mercadante, a local theatre heavyweight.
