About Plebiscito square is the largest square in Naples. It is bounded on the east by the Royal Palace and on the west by the church of San Francesco di Paola with its impressive colonnades extending to both sides. In the first years of the 19th century, the King of Naples was Gioacchino Murat (Napoleon's brother-in-law). He started to build, as a bit of imperial splendour, a Romanesque forum in the square. When Napoleon was finally dispatched, the Bourbons were restored to the throne of Naples. Ferdinand I continued the construction but was so grateful at having his kingdom back that he made the finished product into church you see today. He dedicated it to San Francesco di Paola, who had stayed in a monastary on this site in the 16th century. The church is reminiscent of the Pantheon in Rome. The façade is fronted by a portico resting on six columns and two Ionic pillars. Inside, the church is circular with two side chapels. The dome is 53 metres high

mi piace l'abbraccio del porticato su tutta la piazza. Io ci sono stata a novembre scorso e una parte della piazza era deturpata da impalcature per la ristrutturazione.
Un saluto.

wow... excellent shot, very nice wide image of a so impressive building, that curved shape is really amazing here, superb presented in sepia tone, that works very well...plus very good exposure about shadowed side BUT the details viewed very well.
Best regards!
