18th-century tuff villa on the Scudillo hill, linked to Admiral Francesco Caracciolo.

At the top of the Scudillo hill, between Colli Aminei, Capodimonte and the Vomero, Villa Castagneto-Caracciolo, once known as Villa Regina Madre, is built entirely of tuff.It probably dates from the 18th century and was linked to Admiral Francesco Caracciolo, hero of the Neapolitan Republic of 1799. The panorama from the hill is extraordinary.
