Palazzo Caravita di Sirignano

Palazzo Caravita di Sirignano is a noble residence in Naples featuring classical architecture spread across multiple levels with ornate facade details. The building displays Renaissance design characteristics that express the wealth and refinement expected of a family estate from that period.

A Spanish nobleman, Don Ferdinando Alarcon, commissioned this palace in 1535 as a family residence in Naples. Later, the extensive grounds were subdivided into separate residential units and ownership passed through several noble families.

The palace served as a residence for noble families who shaped the social life of Naples. Its rooms were furnished with valuable art and furnishings that reflected the wealth and taste of those who lived there.

The palace sits on one of Naples main streets and is easy to reach by public transportation. Currently the building is undergoing renovation and reconstruction, so the interiors are not accessible to casual visitors.

The original property covered about 14 hectares (35 acres) before being divided into smaller residential units after 1860. This subdivision reflected how wealthy neighborhoods in Naples were being reshaped during that period.
