Palazzo Spinelli di Tarsia, 18th century palace in Naples, Italy

The palace features a grand entrance with double curved ramps for carriages, leading to three lowered arches decorated with inlaid wood.

Architect Domenico Antonio Vaccaro transformed an existing structure into this palace for Ferdinando Vincenzo Spinelli, Prince of Tarsia, during the 1700s.

The palace contained the Tarsia Library with scientific books and mathematical instruments arranged in a pyramid formation for research and learning.

Following various ownership changes since 1840, the palace now houses the Shozo Shimamoto Association, dedicated to preserving Japanese contemporary art.

The palace originally included gardens designed to recreate the Hanging Gardens of Babylon, though these spaces have largely disappeared over time.

Location: Naples
