ITINERARY 2: Seaside park of Villa Favorita with Bourbon pier - Villa Maiuri

The park area facing the sea named as the seaside park of Villa Favorita has returned to its former glory thanks to the intervention of the Vesuvian Villas Authority. The lively tangle of tree-lined avenues, of holm oaks leads to the merry-go-round and a chapel that adorn the park, telling the story of one of the villa's greatest periods of splendor: owned by the Prince of Salerno Leopoldo di Borbone, from 1823 it was opened to the public, enriched with merry-go-rounds and gymnastic facilities in the German fashion, monumental buildings known as ?Case Coloniche?, ?Cappella?, ?Lavanderia? Leopold Prince of Salerno, son of Ferdinand IV, had games built, which on feast days he opened to his subjects: small orchestras carousels, bands and merry-go-rounds in the shape of horses, boats.
