Palazzo Barbaja, Naples, Palace in San Ferdinando district, Naples, Italy.

The palace features a neoclassical facade with two floors marked by Ionic pilasters and ground floor covered in ashlar blocks.

Built in the 16th century and renovated in the 18th century, the palace became the residence of theater impresario Domenico Barbaja in the 1800s.

Composer Gioacchino Rossini stayed at the palace between 1815 and 1822, where he worked on the musical composition for Otello.

Located at Via Toledo 205 in Naples, the palace now functions as a private residential building without public access.

The interior once contained concert spaces and caves carved into tuff stone walls, visible in a painting at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
