Montecalvario (Italian: Mount of Calvary) is a neighbourhood (quartiere) of Naples, southern Italy. The area centers roughly on the square called Piazza Carità and the metal monument to Salvo D'Acquisto at the northern end of the Quartieri Spagnoli (Spanish Neighborhoods) of the city; the area stretches along the main downtown street, via Toledo (or via Roma[1]), to include a number of historic buildings built under the Spanish Viceregal in the 16th century, including the building that housed the "Nunzio apostolico", the ambassador of the Holy See to Naples, and the home of Giambattista della Porta.[1][2] The area is part of the Historic Centre of Naples, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
