Palazzo Carafa di Santa Severina, Renaissance palace in Pizzofalcone district, Naples, Italy.
The palace stands on a hill of Mount Echia, featuring numerous rooms oriented in all cardinal directions to capture seasonal breezes and natural light.
Andrea Carafa della Spina initiated construction in 1512, purchasing land from the monastery of Saints Peter and Sebastian to establish his residential complex.
The Topographical Office within the palace developed lithography techniques, attracting artists like Carlo Teodoro Müller and Luigi Fergola between 1817 and 1818.
The building currently houses the Military Section of the State Archives of Naples, maintaining records of regional military history.
This palace marked the first noble residence in Pizzofalcone, establishing a pattern for aristocratic development across the entire hillside neighborhood.
