European Heritage Days at the Royal Palace of Naples: September 24 and 25.
Two days of initiatives at the Royal Palace of Naples are scheduled for Saturday 24 and Sunday 25 September 2022 on the occasion of the GEP – European Heritage Days, the largest and most popular cultural event in Europe. During the weekend, special initiatives and extraordinary openings will be organized in museums and cultural venues on the theme: “Sustainable cultural heritage: a legacy for the future”.
Saturday 24rd September two free guided tours have been scheduled in the storerooms and restoration laboratories on the mezzanine floor of the building, where in the 19th century the service rooms for the royal kitchens were located, still recognizable by the presence of the majolica floors and shelves, and pantries.
The spaces, opened for the occasion, correspond to a part of the Palace that originally overlooked the sixteenth-century garden and which was architecturally defined between the second half of the seventeenth century thanks to the transformation interventions desired by Charles of Bourbon.
The tour, led by art historians and restorers, will show the public the workspaces where restoration workers care for the museum's artistic heritage and the painting storage area, which reopened in 2014 following major renovations.
