One glance at this imposing royal palace and it becomes clear that, in its heyday, Naples was one of Europes most important cities and home to one of the Mediterraneans most glittering royal courts. Begun in 1600, it was designed by Domenico Fontana and completed in two years. Additions, including the grand staircase, were made over the years, and it was redesigned in the 18th and 19th centuries. The edifice was a royal residence until 1946, when the monarchy was exiled for its ill-considered support of Mussolinis Fascist regime.
