Chiaia is a neighbourhood on the seaside in Naples, bounded by Piazza Vittoria on the east and Mergellina on the west. The most prominent landmark in the area is the large public park known as the Villa Comunale. Historically, it underwent initial development in the late 1500s and early 1600s as the Spanish rulers of Naples opened the city to the west of its historic boundaries.
