About this activity

Built to accommodate the King Philip III, the Royal Palace by Naples was built by Domenico Fontana in 1600 on commission from Viceroy Fernando Ruiz de Castro. The king then postponed his visit to Naples, but in the meantime one of the most important monuments in Naples had been built, delivered in just two years, though not completely finished.

The Palace stands imposingly in Piazza del Plebiscito, also a symbol of ancient Parthènope, among equally important buildings such as the Basilica of St. Francis of Paola, the Prefecture Palace and the San Carlo Theater.

Why visit the Royal Palace of Naples

Along with the Palace by Caserta, Capodimonte and the Palace of Portici, Royal Palace is one of the four residences of the Bourbon in Naples during the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies, which became so by the will of Charles of Bourbon in 1734. In the 1700s the project was enriched by Luigi Vanvitelli which, due to static problems was forced to alternately close the arches of the facade.

In 1837 the building was almost completely destroyed by fire and was restored by Gaetano Genovese who made the Marble Staircase of Honor, the roof garden, the belvedere courtyard and added the wing that now houses the Naples National Library which can be accessed for free from Trieste and Trento Square.

Today, the oldest rooms are part of the Historical Apartment Museum which includes the Court Theater, the Ambassadors' Room, the Throne Room, the Hercules Room, the Room of Maria Christina of Savoy, and the Palatine Chapel dedicated to the Assumption. Here you can admire great pictorial masterpieces by Guercino, Andrea Vaccaro, Mattia Preti, Massimo Stanzione, Francesco de Mura, Battistello Caracciolo, Luca Giordano, Filippo and Nicola Palizzi, and Consalvo Carelli.

The entrance to the palace is located in Plebiscite Square. Along the facade it is possible to admire the statues of the eight King of Naples willed by King Umberto I of Savoy in 1888: from left to right respectively: Roger the Norman, the first true king of Naples, Frederick II of Swabia, Charles I of Anjou, Alfonso V of Aragon, Charles V of Habsburg, Charles III of Spain, Joachim Murat and finally Victor Emmanuel II, the largest addition itself by Victor Emmanuel II who, however, was king of Italy and never of Naples.

The Ghost of the Royal Palace

It is said that the ghost of Prince Charles III, brother of Ferdinand II of Naples, still roams the rooms, seeking justice and the possessions he was denied. The young nobleman, having fallen in love with an Irish tourist named Penelope Smith despite the difference in rank, began a ruthless courtship and asked his brother for permission to marry her. When Ferdinand denied him to fulfill his love wish Charles eloped with his beloved despite his brother's pleas to stay.

Ferdinand thus signed a decree where he stipulated that any member of the royal family could not leave the kingdom without his permission, on pain of forfeiting his possessions, and no marriage would be valid without his consent.

Charles nevertheless married Penelope finding himself in exile and without money, and his children never had any royal recognition.
