The Capodimonte Palace is a former summer residence, one of the four royal palaces in Naples, which became the property of the state in 1920. Since 1950, the National Museum of Capodimonte has been located on the first and second floors of the palace, and on the third floor there is an art gallery of modern art.
The palace was built in the 18th century for King Charles III of Bourbon, who made it the home of his significant collection of paintings and weapons. Around the palace there is a large shady park where you can hide from the heat.
The Capodimonte Museum is the largest repository of Italian, in particular Neapolitan, painting, sculpture and arts and crafts. Here are the canvases of famous European painters: Bellini, Pieter Brueghel the Elder, Botticelli, Caravaggio, Titian, Goya, El Greco, Van Dyck and others.
In the gallery of modern art you can see the painting by the famous Andy Warhol "Mount Vesuvius", captured at the time of the volcanic eruption.
