Palazzo di Magnocavallo, Neoclassical palace in Naples, Italy

The Palazzo di Magnocavallo extends across multiple floors with a symmetrical facade featuring classical architectural elements near Maschio Angioino fortress.

King Ferdinand I of the Two Sicilies commissioned this palace in 1816 to centralize governmental ministries, with construction completed in 1825.

The palace atrium displays two notable statues depicting King Ruggiero the Norman and Frederick of Swabia, representing historical leadership figures.

Located between Largo de Castello and Via Toledo, the palace functions as municipal offices and houses the office of Naples' mayor.

The entrance contains a preserved head from an ancient bust believed to represent Parthenope, a mythological figure connected to Naples' foundation.
