Palazzo Carafa della Spina, Renaissance palace in Via Benedetto Croce, Naples, Italy.
Palazzo Carafa della Spina is a Renaissance palace on Via Benedetto Croce featuring an imposing Baroque facade of piperno stone. The portal displays two satyr figures supporting a balcony and bears the Carafa family coat of arms.
The Carafa della Spina family acquired the site and had it rebuilt in the first half of the 17th century under architect Domenico Fontana. This renovation merged Renaissance elements with emerging Baroque styles.
The internal staircase displays characteristic features of Neapolitan Baroque architecture with innovative spatial solutions. Visitors can observe this carefully crafted stairwell as an example of local architectural tradition.
The building sits between Piazza Gesu Nuovo and Piazza San Domenico Maggiore in a central location of the old city. From here, visitors can easily access other historical landmarks along Via Spaccanapoli.
The portal contains decorative masks and pylons with carved lion heads in piperno stone. These details were characteristic of the rich iconographic language of Neapolitan Baroque architecture.
