La Decina

Villa La Decina features a double structure with a tower, elliptical arches, and an upper portico constructed primarily from tuff and piperno stone materials.

Built in the first half of the 18th century, Villa La Decina remains the sole architectural evidence from that era in the area alongside Camaldoli Hermitage.

In the 19th century, painter Camillo Guerra acquired the property and influenced its architectural style, which later shaped Neapolitan architectural development.

The villa, currently in a state of deterioration, requires structural interventions and is protected by Naples' Architectural Heritage Superintendence.

The villa's tower displays distinctive hanging arches, while its main structure incorporates masonic symbols and Templar-related decorative elements.
