Its history goes back to the first half of the 16th century, when the Spanish viceroy Pedro Álvarez de Toledo had a castle built at the port of Naples. The architect Domenico Fontana was commissioned to build a new building around 1600, which was largely completed by 1620. In 1735 it became the royal residence when the Kingdom of Naples gained its independence under Charles VII. Various extensions and reconstruction work took place in the following decades.

King Charles VII of Naples had to reside here after his accession to the throne in 1735. It is a magnificent palace in the middle of the city. But it was not representative enough for King Charles. In 1752 he had a palace built in Caserta. He wanted to move the court there after it was finished. But this did not happen because before it was finished he became King of Spain as Charles III.

The Palazzo Reale stands in the old town between the Piazza del Plebiscito and the port. It has been a state museum (Museo di Palazzo Reale) since the 1990s, which also includes the monumental grand staircase, the throne room and the small court theater.
