Mole Vanvitelliana
It is an eighteenth-century structure designed on the water by Luigi Vanvitelli and now connected to the mainland by three bridges.
There are two entrances to the Mole: the main entrance can be reached by following the direction to the customs area and is located near Porta Pia; the other, in the Mandracchio area, is visually marked by a gate and the sculpture “Cavallo rosso” by Mimmo Paladino.
There is free parking available near the Mole.
The Museo Omero can be accessed from the courtyard of the Mole Vanvitelliana, where there are two entrances: one with a monumental staircase and the other equipped with a lift.
Visitors with mobility difficulties may enter the courtyard of the Mole Vanvitelliana by car, reach the Museum entrance with elevator access, and then park in the three spaces reserved for the transport of persons with disabilities inside the Mole.
