Palazzo Turchini

Palazzo Turchini, a bright symbol of the Parthenopean pietas and of the intense musical life of Naples in the 17th and 18th centuries, is located in the heart of the vice regal city, very close to Rua Catalana, where able craftsmen have been working copper and iron for centuries. The building belonged to the Royal Conservatory della Piet dei Turchini, to which Salvatore Di Giacomo dedicated one of his best pages. In the 17th century, in agreement with the times more open to the social aspects and more sensitive towards the new serious opera (Melodramma), the Conservatory  place of reception for abandoned children  took a new turn and its studies became exquisitely music studies, and it began to be a real source of musicians and singers who made Naples an extraordinary pole of culture. The palace, which over the centuries renewed many times its form, changed its destination after the last restoration interventions, without losing its original sense of hospitality: the elegance and sobriety of rooms harmonize themselves today with an advanced technology; golden marbles mix with valuable wood and refined furnishings, in order to make the stay more harmonious.

It is very easy to get to Palazzo Turchini from the airport, the central railway station and the highway. The hotel is located in via Medina 21/22, not far from Municipio square (Municipality of Naples). The harbor and the underground are also very close, as well as the cable cars funiculars- which allow in a few minutes to reach the hill areas of Naples.
