PALAZZO DELLO SPAGNOLO
Palace representing the Neapolitan civil baroque architecture with a cortile with majestic staircase
Designed in 1738 by Sanfelice, this palace is considered one of the most striking examples of Neapolitan Baroque civil architecture. Its cortile is dominated by a double-railed staircase that extends over four floors and is adorned with rococo stuccowork. The palace was regularly visited by Charles de Bourbon, who, on his way up the Capodimonte hill, exchanged his horses for oxen, which were better able to climb the steep slope! Today, the palace is divided into private properties, but the majestic staircase can still be admired.
