Capodimonte: Museums, Exhibitions & Discounts

Capodimonte, situated in Naples, Italy, is primarily known for its magnificent Museo e Real Bosco di Capodimonte, housed in a grand Bourbon palace from the 18th century. Located on a hill overlooking Naples, this area was originally chosen by Charles VII of Naples (later Charles III of Spain) as the site for his summer palace. The district is surrounded by the Bosco di Capodimonte, a vast historical park that served as the royal hunting grounds.

Beyond its famous museum, which houses one of Italy's most important art collections, Capodimonte is also historically significant for its porcelain manufacturing tradition, with the Royal Porcelain Factory of Capodimonte having produced highly sought-after ceramics in the 18th century. Today, the area combines cultural heritage with residential neighborhoods, offering panoramic views over the Bay of Naples.
