The castle was erected at the beginning of the 17th century by the Spanish viceroy Fernando Ruiz de Castro, Count of Lemos, in the clearing at the end of Via Toledo which took the name of Largo di Palazzo after the new building, the current Piazza del Plebiscito. It was later inhabited by the rulers of the Bourbon dynasty and then by the kings of Italy during their stays in the city. The Royal Palace of Naples with the Palatine Chapel, the Court Theater and the Throne Room, was the charming first residence of a modern court. The staircase of honor in white marble, from the Baroque period, introduces us to the heart of the historic apartments where the tour winds through rooms decorated with frescoed vaults, French tapestries and antique furniture.
