The full story
This open royal square lets you take in the Palace and San Francesco di Paola in one sweep. It is a useful orientation point before visiting either building.
Piazza del Plebiscito gives the royal quarter its scale. Stand in the middle to read the contrast between the palace frontage and the basilica’s curved colonnade. A short stop here helps you choose which neighboring interior deserves more time, while the square itself remains part of the experience.
