List of palaces in Naples
A brief and incomplete list of palaces in Naples, Southern Italy:
- Archbishop's Palace (Naples) (in Italian: Palazzo Arcivescovile) is a building in Naples, Italy. It is the official residence of the Roman Catholic archbishop and cardinal of Naples. The building is located on the square largo Donna Regina one block north of the Cathedral of Naples directly across from the church of Donna Regina Nuova. Together, the cathedral and the Archbishop's Palace form a vast, connected complex.
- Palace of Capodimonte is a grand Bourbon palazzo in Naples, Italy, formerly the summer residence and hunting lodge of the kings of the Two Sicilies. It today houses the National Museum of Capodimonte and art gallery of the city. "Capodimonte" means "top of the hill", and the palace was originally just outside the city, which has now expanded to surround it, and somewhat cooler than the city in summer.
- Palazzo Como is a museum in Naples, southern Italy. Its Renaissance ashlar facade opens to Via Duomo, just north of The Intersection of Corso Umberto, the boulevard that runs through The Downtown area.
- Palazzo Doria d'Angri is an historic building and monument in Naples in southern Italy. It was begun by Luigi Vanvitelli on commission of Marcantonio Doria and was finished by the architect's son Carlo Vanvitelli in the late 18th century. Decorative work was done by many of the same artists who worked on the great Royal Palace in Caserta.
- Palace of Portici (Reggia di Portici or Palazzo Reale di Portici) was a royal palace built in the Italian commune of Portici. Today it is the home of the Orto Botanico di Portici. The Botanic Gardens are operated by the University of Naples Federico II. They were once part of a big estate that included an English garden, a zoo and formal parterres.
- Royal Palace of Naples is a palace in Naples, southern Italy. It is one of the four residences used by the Bourbon Kings of Naples during their rule of the Kingdom of Two Sicilies (1730-1860): one is in Caserta, another on the Capodimonte hill overlooking Naples, and the third (now the site of the agricultural Department Of the University of Naples) is in Portici on the slopes of Vesuvius. The Royal Palace is on the site of an earlier building meant to host King Philip III of Spain, who however never made the trip. The architect chosen for that palace was Domenico Fontana. The building was put up on the site of an even older Spanish viceroyal residence from the early 16th century. The royal residence was moved to Caserta in the 18th century, as that inland town was more defensible from naval assault than Naples.
- Palazzo Serra di Cassano is a building in Naples, Italy, built for the wealthy Serra Family.
