Poggio Reale is a former Renaissance villa in Naples, Italy, commissioned in 1487 by Alfonso II of Naples as a royal summer residence. Designed and built by Giuliano da Maiano, it stood outside the city walls in what is now the Poggioreale district and was one of the most important achievements of the Neapolitan Renaissance. Later robbed of its treasures and left in ruins, it survives in name as an architectural style.
