State Archive of Naples, State archive in Naples, Italy.

The Naples State Archive occupies the monumental complex of Saints Severino and Sossio, extending across four floors with extensive document storage facilities.

Established in 1808 by decree, the archive moved to its current location in 1845, where it preserves records dating back to the 10th century.

The archive maintains over 70 kilometers of documents, including treaties, registers, and parchments essential for studying the history of Southern Italy and Europe.

Researchers can access the archive from Monday to Friday between 8:00 AM and 6:30 PM, and on Saturdays from 8:00 AM to 2:00 PM.

During World War II, German forces destroyed thousands of irreplaceable documents when they burned the Montesano Villa, where the archives were temporarily stored.
