Palais de l'Université de Naples - Frédéric II, Neobaroque palace in Naples, Italy.
The Palazzo dell'Università features a 120-meter facade with rusticated base, large arched windows, and Corinthian pilasters adorned with travertine slabs.
Architects Pierpaolo Quaglia and Guglielmo Melisurgo designed this educational palace between 1897 and 1908 to accommodate increasing student numbers.
The central bronze relief by Francesco Jerace depicts Emperor Frederick II establishing the university, surrounded by figures representing academic disciplines.
The palace houses university administration offices and several faculties, accessible through the Università station on Metro Line 1.
A monumental staircase, known as Scalone della Minerva, bridges a seven-meter height difference connecting modern buildings to the original Jesuit complex.
