Palazzo Carafa di Roccella, Palace in Chiaia district, Naples, Italy

Palazzo Carafa di Roccella is a palace in the Chiaia district with a symmetrical facade across three levels. The building features an open courtyard and a patio overlooking a garden space.

The palace traces its origins to the 17th century when it was gifted to the Carafa family in 1667. Over the following centuries it remained in family ownership and developed into a significant estate in the city.

Ippolita Cantelmo Stuart, wife of don Vincenzo Maria III Carafa, hosted a literary salon in the palace. The building later became the seat of the city's assessorato alla cultura, and since 2004 it has housed the PAN, Palazzo delle Arti di Napoli, opened to the public on 26 March.

The building is now accessible to visitors and functions as an arts museum today. It is helpful to check ahead about opening hours and exhibitions, as its use varies depending on scheduled events.

On the night of 10 May 1964, during developer Mario Ottieri's demolition attempt, all the facade stuccoes and the piperno portal were destroyed, though residents blocked the full demolition. The building then stood abandoned until the city acquired it in 1992 after lengthy litigation.
