Castel dell'Ovo (English: Egg Castle) was a castle and an important landmark located on an islet in the Bay of Naples. Its name comes from a legend about the Roman poet Virgil who, in the Middle Ages, was regarded as a powerful sorcerer and was said to have placed an egg in the castle's fortifications to make them stronger.
In the Renaissance, a drydock was located nearby which housed Cesare Borgia's naval cannon weapon, but in 1502 the Assassin Ezio Auditore destroyed the only prototype of the cannon.
