Palazzo Carafa della Spina, Renaissance palace in Via Benedetto Croce, Naples, Italy.

The palace features a grand Baroque portal made of piperno rock, with two satyrs supporting the balcony and displaying the Carafa family shield.

The structure underwent reconstruction in the first half of the 17th century under architect Domenico Fontana after the Carafa della Spina family acquired the site.

The internal stairwell, attributed to architect Ferdinando Sanfelice, demonstrates the integration of complex shapes and structural innovations characteristic of Neapolitan Baroque.

Located between Piazza Gesu Nuovo and Piazza San Domenico Maggiore, the palace provides access to numerous historical landmarks along Via Spaccanapoli.

The portal includes distinctive decorative elements such as flanking masks and pylons with lion heads carved into the piperno stone.
