Description

Venue: Palazzo Reale    When: Daily; not Wed

Naples' Palazzo Reale is the most prominent example of Baroque architecture in the city, designed by Domenico Fontana in the 17th century. The eight statues on the facade are of Neapolitan kings.

The palace's first-floor rooms are decorated with fine Baroque furniture, trompe l'oeil ceilings, great tapestries and lots of 17th- and 18th-century paintings. The chapel is well worth a visit, with its finely worked altarpiece, as is the terrace, which gives great views of the port and the Castel Nuovo.

Located in the heart of the city, the square on which the palace stands is one of Naples's most architecturally interesting, with a long colonnade and a church, San Francesco di Paolo.
