Palazzo Firrao, Baroque palace in central Naples, Italy.

The building features an elaborate facade with tall Ionic pilasters, interrupted pediments, decorative urns, and marble busts displayed in medallion niches.

Prince Cesare Firrao purchased the property in 1621 and commissioned architect Cosimo Fanzago to transform the structure into a grand palace between 1630 and 1640.

The palace displays seven marble busts of Naples rulers from the House of Habsburg, sculpted by Giulio Mencaglia and other prominent artists.

The palazzo stands at number 98 Via Santa Maria di Costantinopoli, returning to residential use in 2005 after serving as government offices.

In 2019, artist Mimmo Paladino created an iron and fused glass gate that separates the palace courtyard from the street.
