History
Originally built upon the ruins of Alfonso II's Villa Poggio Reale, the area was heavily bombed in World War II and certain part of the area still show the scars of bombing. The presence of the new Civic Center is an attempt to rehabilitate the area from its generally decayed appearance.
Geography
Poggioreale is situated in eastern suburb of the city. It forms, with Zona Industriale, San Lorenzo and Vicaria, the Fourth Municipality of Naples.
