The Central Funicular is one of four funicular railways in Naples' public transportation system, designed by Pier Luigi Nervi and inaugurated in 1928. This true funicular—an inclined railway with two passenger cars connected by cables operating in tandem—connects the Vomero district at its upper terminus to Via Toledo near Galleria Umberto at its lower terminus, serving four intermediate stations at Piazza Fuga, Petraio-Via Palizzi, Corso Vittorio Emanuele, and Augusteo. Among the world's most heavily used funiculars, it carries over ten million passengers annually and provides a crucial link between the hillside neighborhood of Vomero and the city center, with connections to the Naples Metro and the Chiaia Funicular at Piazza Fuga.
