Palazzo Cellammare, Renaissance palace in San Ferdinando district, Naples, Italy

The palace features a baroque portal in lava stone, a fortified facade with smooth ashlar mezzanine, and an extensive garden at the rear section.

Built in the early 16th century for Abbot Giovanni Francesco Carafa, the palace underwent major renovations by Ferdinando Manlio in 1531 following Renaissance design principles.

In the 18th century, the palace became a center for Italian nobility gatherings, hosting notable figures like Johann Wolfgang von Goethe and Giacomo Casanova.

The palace contains two main residential sections: a lower floor once occupied by Archbishop Caracciolo and an upper noble floor where Queen Maria Carolina resided.

During the 1656 plague epidemic in Naples, the Carafa family allowed the monks from the nearby Sant'Orsola church to use the palace as a hospital.
