The Royal Palace of Naples
A little room for a king who changed his mind
At the end of XVI century the viceroy Don Fernando got worried because he received the news that the king Filippo III wanted to visit Naples. At that time Naples didn’t have a place suitable to host the king. Therefore Fernando ordered the construction of a sumptuous palace for the illustrious visitor. The royal palace was committed to Domenico Fontana in 1600 and he handed in it after only two years (even if the Palace wasn’t completed). Unfortunately the king changed his mind and didn’t go to Naples. You are luckier than the king, so don’t miss the Royal Apartments, the Royal Chapel, the park and the little theatre. There’s a lot to see inside the Royal Palace then we want to tell you 10 things you absolutely have to visit.
