Palazzo Zevallos Stigliano, Art museum in San Ferdinando district, Naples, Italy.
Palazzo Zevallos Stigliano is a Baroque palace on Via Toledo characterized by a grand marble staircase and ornate frescoes adorning its interior walls. The rooms feature high ceilings and decorated surfaces that showcase the refinement of its original design as a noble residence.
The palace was built in the 1630s under Duke Giovanni Zevallos and architect Cosimo Fanzago as a lavish noble residence. Mid-17th century ownership by Flemish merchant Jan van den Eynde transformed it into a repository for important artworks.
The museum displays significant artworks from the 17th to early 20th centuries, including Caravaggio's final painting, The Martyrdom of Saint Ursula.
The palace sits on Via Toledo, one of Naples' main streets, making it easily accessible to visitors seeking the art collection. The rooms are reached through the central marble staircase, and visitors should allow sufficient time to explore the various exhibition spaces.
The collection holds Caravaggio's final painting, The Martyrdom of Saint Ursula, created in the 1600s and still displayed within these rooms. This work demonstrates the artist's power in his last years before his death.
