Cuomo Palace, Renaissance palace in Via Duomo, Naples, Italy
Cuomo Palace is a Renaissance building on Via Duomo in Naples that rises three levels with solid stone construction and distinctive window frames carved from local piperno stone. The exterior features marble doorways and detailed stonework typical of the period's architecture.
The building was constructed in the early 15th century as a residence and received major expansions in the mid-15th century when a merchant acquired adjacent properties. These additions shaped what visitors see today.
The museum housed here displays private art collections and traditional crafts that reveal how wealthy Neapolitan families lived and what they valued. The rooms preserve objects that show the taste and connections of people who shaped the city's cultural life.
The palace sits on a main street in central Naples, making it easy to visit alongside other historical sites in the area. Before heading there, check access times to plan your visit and consider the crowds that form during peak hours.
In the 1880s, the entire building was shifted approximately 20 meters from its original location to make room for the widening of Via Duomo. This unusual engineering feat shows how important the structure was to the city and the lengths taken to preserve it.
