Castel Sant`Elmo is a medieval fortress located on Vomero Hill adjacent to the Certosa di San Martino, overlooking Naples, Italy. The name `Sant`Elmo` derives from a former 10th-century church dedicated to Sant`Erasmo, shortened to `Ermo` and, finally altered to `Elmo`. Located near the upper terminus of the Petraio, one of the city`s earliest pedestrian connections between upper and lower Naples, the fortress now serves as a museum, exhibition hall, and offices.
