The museum's first floor features works by Michelangelo, Raphael, and Titian, with highlights including Masaccio's Crocifissione (Crucifixion), Botticelli's Madonna col Bambino e Due Angeli (Madonna with Child and Angels), Bellini's Trasfigurazione (Transfiguration), and Parmigianino's Antea, which are all liable to room shifts inside the museum. The royal apartments, a study in regal excess, are also located on this floor.
The second-floor galleries have works by Neapolitan artists such as de Ribera, Giordano, Solimena, and Stanzione, who lived from the 13th through the 19th century. It also houses some magnificent Belgian embroideries from the 16th century. Many visitors flock to admire Caravaggio's Flagellazione (Christ's Flagellation; 1607–10), which hangs in solemn seclusion in Room 78. Paintings from the Neapolitan baroque period are displayed in rooms 88 through 95.
A modest mezzanine level accessible from the second floor houses a changing collection of contemporary pieces by artists such as Andy Warhol, Mimmo Jodice, and John Armleder. The museum also has a significant permanent contemporary art exhibition including pieces by Giulio Paolini, Daniel Buren, Joseph Kosuth, Michelangelo Pistoletto, Jannis Kounellis, Sigmar Polke, Candida Höfer, and Sol LeWitt, among others. Special commissions and donations are also included in the collection, such as Alberto Burri's massive Grande Cretto Nero, which was gifted to the museum by the creator personally.
The Royal Park of Capodimonte is Naples' biggest public park, with a total area of 330 acres. For its historic, artistic, and botanical history, it was chosen as the most beautiful park in Italy in 2014. The Porta Grande (Big Gate), erected in the second decade of the nineteenth century, is the primary access to the Royal Park. The Royal Palace and Museum, which is flanked by lush tropical foliage and a magnificent lawn, is visible after going through the Porta Grande. The Belvedere is located near the Porta Grande and the Museum. You may get a great skyline and the ocean view from here.
