Palazzo Firrao, Baroque palace in central Naples, Italy.

Palazzo Firrao is a baroque palace in central Naples that features an elaborate facade with tall Ionic pilasters, interrupted pediments, decorative urns, and marble busts displayed in medallion niches. The structure shows a carefully composed design typical of the city's grand private residences.

Prince Cesare Firrao acquired the property in 1621 and commissioned architect Cosimo Fanzago to transform the structure into a grand palace between 1630 and 1640. The building later underwent major changes in use before returning to residential purposes in the early 2000s.

The palace displays seven marble busts of Naples rulers from the House of Habsburg, sculpted by Giulio Mencaglia and other prominent artists. These portraits define the building's exterior and speak to the rulers who shaped the city.

The palace stands on Via Santa Maria di Costantinopoli and is easily accessible on foot from central Naples due to its central location. Visitors should note that this is a private residence and access may be limited.

A 2019 addition brought an artwork by Mimmo Paladino in the form of an iron and fused glass gate that separates the palace courtyard from the street. This modern piece creates an intriguing contrast with the classical baroque architecture.
