This
palace on the northern edge of the city took almost a hundred years
to be completed. Built for Charles of Bourbon from 1738, it has
a distinctive pinky-orange and gray colour. An extensive restoration
project was undertaken in the 1990s. The palace now houses the Museo
e Gallerie di Capodimonte, which has several masterpieces uncluding
works by Bellini, Botticelli, Caravaggio, Masaccio and Titan. The
palace and museum are open between 8:30 am and 7:30pm from Tuesday
to Sunday.
