Palazzo Doria d'Angri

Palazzo Doria d'Angri is a palace in Naples with a white marble facade divided by Tuscan columns and Ionic pilasters across several stories. The building stands out on the street with its bright appearance and careful arrangement of architectural elements across its face.

Construction started in the 1760s under Prince Marcantonio Doria and continued after his death under his son Giovanni Carlo with architect Luigi Vanvitelli. The palace was built during an era when Naples was developing as a cultural center under Bourbon rule.

The Mirror Gallery displays frescoes by local artists from the 1700s that reflect the artistic taste of wealthy Neapolitans of that period. These decorated rooms show how prominent families arranged their homes to showcase both local craftsmanship and European design influences.

The palace is located at Via Sant'Anna dei Lombardi 27 and is reachable from Dante metro station on the L1 line. A short walk through the area brings you to this address on one of Naples' main thoroughfares.

From the main balcony, Giuseppe Garibaldi announced in 1860 the annexation of the Kingdom of Two Sicilies to Italy. This moment made the location a key site in the story of Italian unification.
