Built in the 1830s in the Posillipo area of the city, Villa Doria d’Angri affords stunning views across the Port of Naples and beyond. In its prime, the villa’s terraces featured lush hanging gardens with fountains and exotic plants. Much of the extravagant interiors have also been lost to time, but some of the original Pompeian-style frescoes survive in a few rooms. The building is now owned by the Parthenope University of Naples and houses a naval museum.
