In front of Mount Echia, known as the "Mountain of God" by the Neapolitans, there once stood the islet of Megaride, according to Pliny, where the Greeks are said to have founded the city of Megara (but they certainly constituted its first nucleus of "Palaepolis"). According to Plutarch, Lucullus would have had a villa, the so-called "Lucullan castle," where it is said that Virgil spent fifteen years. In 492 AD, on this "island," the Basilian monastery dedicated to the Savior was founded, known as "in insula maris," from which the island itself also took its name, "del Salvatore." In the 13th century, the first nucleus of Castel dell'Ovo was built, which later hosted Roger the Norman, Frederick II of Swabia, and Charles I of Anjou.
