Palazzo di Sangro, Renaissance palace in central Naples, Italy

The Palazzo di Sangro stands across from San Domenico Maggiore church, featuring a grand facade with monumental pilasters on its upper floors.

The palace construction began in the 16th century under Paolo di Sangro, with architects Mario Gioffredo and Luigi Vanvitelli completing renovations between 1754 and 1762.

The palace houses ancient columns from a Roman temple of Vesta in its courtyard, connecting Naples classical past with its Renaissance development.

The palace entrance features detailed stone carvings by Vitale Finelli, while the interior contains decorative elements from multiple architectural periods.

During urban renewal efforts in 1922, the easternmost section of the palace was removed, requiring the relocation of frescoes to the Museum of Capodimonte.
