Overview & Visitor Introduction
Palazzo dello Spagnolo is a Baroque palace in the Sanità district, famous for its dramatic open double-ramp staircase visible from the entrance courtyard — one of Naples' most photographed pieces of residential architecture.
The building remains privately inhabited, so there is no interior apartment visit. Visitors can freely enter the courtyard from the street to view and photograph the staircase at no charge — there is no ticket, gate, or set visiting hours.
