Procida is the smallest and oldest island in the Bay of Naples.
The island, still today seems like an island to discover, fascinating for its quiet streets, the vivid colours of the ancient buildings and the villages clinging to the rocks above the little ports.
The brightly coloured houses that face the sea are the first images that welcome the visitor. This fishing village is dominated by the Castle that sits on the top of a sheer cliff overlooking the sea, on the inside of the highest part of the island, Terra Murata, heart of the island.
