In 1599, Vicar Fernandez Ruiz de Castro, Count of Lemos, expressed the intention of building a royal residence in the city. The building  became the seat of the Spanish Viceroys, then the Austrians and later the Borbone kings. After the unification of Italy, the palace was used as a residence by the Savoia dinasty. The construction of the building was entrusted to Domenico Fontana, an engineer and architect among the most prestigious of his time. The architect Domenico Fontana died in 1607 and could never see his work completely accomplished, which happened after 1843 with Gaetano Genovese. The walls of the Palace were painted by artists like Battistello Caracciolo, Giovanni Balducci and Belisario Corenzio. In 1919, the Royal Palace became the property of the state that opened it to the public and between 1922 and 1923 moved the National Library Vittorio Emanuele III to the first and second floors of the Palace of the Feasts. The Second World War caused some damages, only then repaired in the following years. Moreover  the fall of the monarchy caused the dispersal of some furniture.
