San Gregorio Armeno Street is a street in the historic center of Naples, famous for its tourist nativity scene workshops. The street which is popularly called San Liguoro, turns out to be one of the stenopori (from the gr .: stenosis, narrowing, and poros, passage) typical of the Greek urban architecture which characterizes the whole ancient center of Naples. As a stenoporos (a cornerstone of Roman urbanism), the street served as a link between the two plateies (from the Greek: plateia piazza) the largest plateia (now Via dei Tribunali) and the lower one (today's Spaccanapoli). The two main streets of the ancient Neapolis (from the Greek "New Town"), today's Naples, were therefore connected perpendicularly from this street, at the height of the Basilica of San Lorenzo Maggiore, where the agora rose.
