Palazzo Tocco di Montemiletto, Renaissance palace on Via Toledo, Naples, Italy.
Palazzo Tocco di Montemiletto is a Renaissance palace on Via Toledo featuring a central structure with flanking wings and matching entrance portals. The facade displays terraces decorated with the family's heraldic emblems.
The palace was built in 1566 by architect Giovanni Francesco Di Palma for a judge named Egidio Tapia. Major renovations took place in 1832 under Stefano Gasse.
The chapel once drew visitors from across Naples who came for religious ceremonies and spiritual devotion. This role reveals how the palace served as part of the city's sacred life for generations.
The building is located on Via Toledo in the San Giuseppe neighborhood and remains a private residence today. The Renaissance entrance portal has been preserved and is visible from the street.
The building was once connected to a neighboring palace through a bridge that gave its name to Via Ponte di Tappia street. This bridge was later demolished during urban renewal.
