Capuano Castle

	Hotels in Italy		Hotels in Italy(Map)		Travel Guide		Travel Links

Introduction

The Castel Capuano, usually known as the Vicaria, at the east end of Via dei Tribunali was a Hohenstaufen and later an Angevin stronghold which has been occupied since 1540 by law courts. It takes its name from the fact that it was at that point in the city walls where the road led out to the city of Capua. The castle is at the east end of via dei Tribunali and until recently housed the Naples Hall of Justice, which has now moved to the new Civic Center, the Centro Direzionale.

Location

Address:Via vincenzo muzj, Naples, Italy.

History

The structure was built in the 12th century by William I, the son of Roger the Norman, the first monarch of the Kingdom of Naples. It was expanded by Frederick II of Hohenstaufen and became one of his royal palaces. In the 16th century, under the Spanish viceroy ship of Pedro Alvarez de Toledo, all of the cities various legal offices and departments were consolidated here and it became the Hall of Justice known as the “Vicaria” - the basements of which served as a prison. Over the entrance to the castle is still visible the crest of Emperor Charles V, who visited Naples in 1535.
The castle has undergone many restorations, one as recent as 1860, and no longer retains much of its original appearance.

Chapel Sommaria & Court of Appeal

The most important and interesting environment is the Chapel Sommaria, with decorated walls and stuccoes by Pietro Ruviale in the sixteenth century representing Evangelical Scenes and the Universal Judgment. Interesting is the Room of the Court of Appeal, with eighteenth-century works of Anthonio Cacciapuoti and the Room of the Busts, where there are the busts of the princes of the Forum of Naples.
