Lonely Planet review for Porta Nolana & Mercato

At the head of Via Sopramuro stands the 15th-century Porta Nolana, one of the medieval city gates. Two cylindrical towers support an arch decorated with a bas-relief of Ferdinand I of Aragon on horseback. Under and beyond it, is the most vivacious street market in all of Naples. Street theatre at its rawest, it's an intoxicating scene of glistening seafood, buxom vegetables, plump cheeses, contraband cigarette stalls and pink inflatable dolphins.
