Palazzo del Principe di Sannicandro, Noble palace in Stella district, Naples, Italy

The Palazzo del Principe di Sannicandro features a grand stone portal entrance and contains multiple residential apartments within its historic structure.

Built in the second half of the 16th century, the palace became property of the Carafa di Maddaloni family in 1585, who transformed it for noble purposes.

During the ownership of Flemish banker Gaspare Roomer until 1674, the palace housed over 1100 paintings from local and international artists including Rubens and Vouet.

The palace maintains its original architectural elements in the entrance hall while the upper floors have been converted into separate residential units.

In the early 18th century, young poet Pietro Metastasio performed improvised verses within the palace walls to honor the residing princes.
