Fontana della Sellaria, Naples, Guida per visitatori e cosa fare nei dintorni

Fontana della Sellaria is a public fountain on Piazzetta Grande Archivio in Naples. It is a small street-level stop rather than a large monument, and it is most rewarding as one point on a longer walk through the streets around it.

Tips for your visit

• Plan a short stop. The fountain stands in a public square, so you can look at it from outside and take a few photos without any ticket or booking.
• Go in daylight if you can. Morning or late afternoon is a comfortable time to wander the lanes nearby and take in the details of the square.
• Pair it with the streets around it. The old centre of Naples is best explored on foot, so allow extra time to wander and stop for a coffee.
• Wear comfortable shoes and keep your phone charged, since the paving can be uneven and you will want your map handy.

See it on a quest

You can reach the fountain on foot as one stop of Curse of Naples: Mafia Secrets, a self-guided quest with a theme of the secrets of Naples. The app tells you about each place as you arrive and sets a puzzle based on what is in front of you, so you look closely at the square instead of just passing through. The quest is paid, and one ticket covers the whole group. You can start whenever you like, with no guide and no group to join.
