The great palazzo on piazza Museo, begun in 1586 as cavalry barracks, now home to the National Archaeological Museum.

On piazza Museo, near piazza Cavour, the Palazzo degli Studi is the home of the National Archaeological Museum of Naples, one of the most important in the world for ancient art.Construction began in 1586 as cavalry barracks, just outside the city walls; it then became the seat of the university and finally, under the Bourbons, a museum. Inside, the treasures of Pompeii and Herculaneum, the Farnese collection and the famous Secret Cabinet await us.
