Sightseeing

The dominant building of Terra Murata is the Palazzo d'Avalos, constructed in the 16th century along with the walls by the D'Avalos family, who were governors of the island until the 18th century. In 1830, the building was converted into a prison and was permanently closed only in 1988. The former prison consists of the urban development from the late 16th century, initiated by Cardinal Innico d'Avalos and designed by architects Cavagna and Tortelli. It served first as a noble palace and later as a royal palace of the Bourbons, who in 1815 transformed it into a military school and then into a prison for the kingdom with subsequent expansions. The monumental complex includes the Palazzo D'avalos, the courtyard, the Guard Barracks, the Single Cell Building, the Veterans Building, the Medical Facility, the Director's House, and the Spianata agricultural estate. This unified system is inseparable from the monumental emergence represented by the Palazzo d'Avalos. Surpassing artistic and historical interest, it's particularly important for its unique characteristics that mark its place in the history of Renaissance architecture. It also holds value as a testament to the political, military, and urban history of the island.

Parks & Nature

Visitors to Procida should not miss the chance to explore Vivara Island, a protected wildlife oasis since 1974 and a State Nature Reserve since 2002. This small, untouched crescent-shaped island enchants with its natural beauty, rare flora, wild rabbits, various birds, and significant Mycenaean archaeological sites. The sea around Vivara, teeming with marine life, is a paradise for fishing enthusiasts. Vivara, part of a former volcanic crater and linked to Procida by a pedestrian bridge from Santa Margherita (Marina Chiaiolella), boasts a rich tapestry of paths through lush, pristine vegetation. Its 0.38 km² area is a vibrant showcase of Mediterranean colors, changing with the seasons. The island's geography offers panoramic views, especially from its highest point at 109 meters, overlooking Procida and the Campania coast. Protected as a State Nature Reserve, Vivara holds significant natural, archaeological, and historical value, including Mycenaean and Bourbon-era remnants. The only structure, a 1681 hunting lodge built by Duke De Guevara, features a terrace with stunning views of Ischia. An early 20th-century swivel house by architect Lamont Young adds to the island's architectural interest.
