Palazzo Castriota Scanderbeg, Renaissance palace in Santa Maria di Costantinopoli, Naples, Italy.

Palazzo Castriota Scanderbeg is a Renaissance palace situated on Via Santa Maria di Costantinopoli in Naples, featuring a brick façade with a raised stone base. A marble portal decorated with alternating ornamental details forms the principal entrance and defines the building's street-facing character.

The palace was built in the 16th century as a residence for the Marquis Pisacane, who later added an upper floor and commissioned interior frescoes to enhance the spaces. An 18th-century restoration brought architectural elements like the Durazzo-style portal from elsewhere into the building.

The palace bears the name of Skanderbeg, the Albanian national hero, reflecting his historical ties to Naples. Locals recognize this connection and view the building as part of the city's diverse heritage.

Access to the upper floor is provided through two side entrances framed by columns installed during 18th-century restoration work. An interior courtyard with a garden and an 18th-century fountain provides a quiet retreat within the building complex.

A marble portal in the Durazzo style was relocated here in 1889 from Palazzo Piscicelli, where it had originally marked the entrance to a chapel. This relocation reveals how Naples' architects and owners moved and reconfigured architectural elements between buildings.
