Palazzo Capuano, Medieval palace in Portici, Italy

The palace features a prominent stone tower and stands on two levels with windows framed by linear pediments at Piazza San Ciro 17.

Built in 1025 by Neapolitan noble Gualtiero Galeota, the structure served as the ducal residence and center of feudal power in the region.

Queens Giovanna I and Giovanna II of Naples resided in the palace, which later housed members of the Colonna and Mari noble families.

The palace underwent substantial structural changes in 1948 when the construction of Via Libertà required demolition of parts of the Renaissance building.

The palace originally included extensive gardens with numerous fountains powered by water from the now-vanished Dragone River.
