This Naples public square dates back to the 19th century and is named after the plebiscite (referendum) in 1863 which led to Naples joining Unified Italy. The square was planned as a tribute to the Emperor Napoleon by Murat, king of Naples and brother-in-law of Napoleon. Once the Bourbons were restored to the throne the plans for the square continued but not as a homage to the banished Emperor of France. The semi-circular piazza is the site of one of four Royal Palaces in Naples and the San Francisco di Paola church. The church façade was designed to resemble the Roman Pantheon and has a long curved colonnade. In front of the church are two bronze equestrian statues. Canova created the statues of Ferdinand I of Bourbon on horseback and Charles III of Bourbon on horseback. On the façade of the 17th century Royal Palace there are archways separated by eight niches with statues of famous Naples kings. Two other palaces (Palazzo della Prefettura and Palazzo Salerno) complete the semi-circle of buildings. Palazzo della Prefettura is home to the famous Café Gambrinus. The square is often the venue for large contemporary art instillations as well as annual special events like the New Years Eve fireworks and musical concerts of international celebrities.
