Palazzo Carafa di Maddaloni, Renaissance palace in Spaccanapoli district, Naples, Italy.

The palace features twelve faded niches on its facade representing different members of the Carafa family, with alternating colored stone patterns on upper levels.

Duke Cesare d'Avalos initiated construction in 1580, and Diomede V Carafa acquired the property in 1656, commissioning renovations by architect Cosimo Fanzago.

The grand hall hosted performances by composers Giovanni Battista Pergolesi and Domenico Scarlatti, making it a center of Neapolitan musical life.

The palace stands near Via Toledo bus stop and Dante metro station, with the church of San Nicola a Nilo located across the street.

Following financial difficulties in 1806, the palace complex was divided among various aristocrats, and today approximately fifty families reside within its walls.

Location: Naples

Architects: Cosimo Fanzago
