Palazzo Penne, Renaissance palace in historic center, Naples, Italy.

The palace features three levels of stone blocks on its exterior facade, with five archways supported by pillars in the internal courtyard.

Antonio di Penne, secretary to King Ladislao of Durazzo, constructed this palace in 1406 as one of the first entrances to Naples.

The entrance portal displays a depressed arch typical of Durazzo period architecture, decorated with the Penne family coat of arms and late Gothic figures.

The building sits near Banchi Nuovi square and contains multiple floors arranged asymmetrically due to the internal staircase design.

The facade includes three rows of diamond-shaped stones and a central relief depicting a pen, which symbolizes the Penne family name.
