The Royal Palace of Naples opens the Foriera Depot for the first time.

On the occasion of European Heritage Days, which will be held on Saturday, September 23 and Sunday, September 24, the Royal Palace of Naples will open the Foriera Depot to the public for the first time. Located below the Belvedere Courtyard, the Deposito Foriera is located in spaces formerly serving the Navy and overlooking the military dockyard below, later used as a “warehouse” and employed, in the French decade, as a place to shelter paintings. The space is currently used to store 19th-century furnishings mostly from the rooms that now house the “Vittorio Emanuele III” National Library.
Visitors, in groups of up to 25 people, will be accompanied by an architect and an art historian through paths usually not accessible to the public. Through an evocative elliptical piperno staircase, it will also be possible to retrace part of the descent that led to today’s Acton Street, on the site of the ancient Arsenal.
The visit is included in the entrance ticket to theLabel Apartment, which can be purchased directly on site or online, and will take place in two rounds of entry, the first at 9:30 am and the second at 11:30 am.
Reservations are required while spaces last: https://www.coopculture.it/it/prodotti/il-deposito-foriera/

On Sunday, Sept. 24, the Royal Palace of Naples is instead organizing two rounds of guided tours at the restoration workshop and storage rooms: museum staff will show visitors a route usually not accessible to the public.
The tours will be for groups of up to 25 people, departing at 4:30 pm and 6:30 pm. Reservations are required while spaces last at the following link: https://www.coopculture.it/it/prodotti/il-laboratorio-di-restauro-e-i-depositi-quadri-e-cornici/.
Visits are free; you must have a Museum ticket, which can be purchased directly at the ticket office or online, at www.coopculture.it.

During the two days, guided tours, special initiatives and extraordinary openings will be organized in Italian museums and cultural sites on the theme: Heritage InVita. In addition, on Saturday, September 23, there will be extraordinary evening openings in state museums with admission at the symbolic cost of 1 euro + 1 euro (excluding statutory free admission) to support the heritage damaged in the Emilia-Romagna flooding.
