A 19th-century palazzo on Via Chiatamone built for a single family; since 2000 the rectorate of the university of Oriental studies.

On Via Chiatamone, with a second entrance on Via Partenope, Palazzo Du Mesnil was one of the last Neapolitan palazzi built as a single-family residence rather than as an apartment block.It was designed by a French architect in the 19th century. Since 2000 it has been the seat of the Rectorate of the university of Oriental studies and also houses the museum of the African Society of Italy.
