FS railcars at Porto del Granatello and the Portici-Ercolano station, Italy, 1957

The Granatello Harbor (Porto del Granatello) with the fishing port in the foreground. The Villa Mascolo/Bourbone building is a prominent arched building with the small tower overlooking the harbor.

The train track running along the harbor wall is part of the Naples–Portici railway line. Opened in 1839, this was the very first railway line built in Italy; a visitor can learn more about this historic line nearby at the Pietrarsa National Railway Museum.
