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

The Palazzo del Principe di Sannicandro is a noble residence in the Stella district featuring a grand stone portal as its main entrance. The interior has been divided into separate apartments on the upper levels while the entrance hall retains its original architectural details.

Built in the second half of the 16th century, the palace was bought in 1585 by the Carafa di Maddaloni, who rebuilt it. Duke Marzio Carafa and his eldest son Diomede lived there from 1606. In 1647 Masaniello's followers seized it and sent its silk, Flemish tapestries, paintings and a silver-plated carriage to the market. In 1656 the Marquis del Vasto took it in exchange for a palace near Via Toledo.

In 1715 the young Pietro Metastasio improvised forty octaves on "the magnificence of princes" in the palace before Giambattista Vico, Paolo Mattia Doria and Agostino Ariani, honouring Anna, countess of Montuoro. Francesco Solimena painted the palace's Galleria, paid on 2 January 1733; its trace was lost until 1981, when it was identified in a Paris mansion, now the Baccarat museum.

The building is located in a residential neighborhood, so access to the interior may be limited. Visitors should view the facade and entrance area from outside and check ahead if they wish to see inside.

In the early modern period the residence was owned by Flemish banker Gaspare Roomer, who assembled a major art collection featuring works by Rubens and Vouet. This collection made the residence an important center for art patronage in Naples.
