Palazzo Orsini di Gravina, Renaissance palace in San Lorenzo district, Naples, Italy
The palazzo features rusticated stone brick base on the first floor and marble-framed windows with circular niches containing decorative busts on the second floor.
Construction of the first two stories began in 1513 under nobleman Ferdinando Orsini, utilizing lands obtained from the nearby Santa Chiara complex.
Since 1940, the palace functions as the central location for the Faculty of Architecture at the University of Naples, shaping future generations of architects.
Located at Via Monteoliveto 3, the palace stands across from the central post office building and near the Piazza Monteoliveto fountain.
The palace exterior combines Doric-Corinthian capitals on Piperno rock pilasters, creating an architectural style similar to Roman palaces of the period.
