We must at least mention the Villa Floridiana, a sumptuous building made by King Ferdinand I of Bourbon in 1817 for the residence of the Duchess of Floridia. She was his second wife and since Naples was a Catholic kingdom, she could neither receive the Queen title nor be accepted at the Royal Palace. When the Bourbon Monarchy ended, the Villa came under the property of the Italian Government and since 1927 it hosts the National Museum of Ceramics, with the private collection by the Duke of Martina, which belongs to the second half of the 19th century.

All around the Villa there is a beautiful park, with grass and groves with small temples and fountains scattered over them. The park occupies part of the slope falling from Vomero hill towards the Riviera di Chiaia (the waterfront promenade between Santa Lucia and Mergellina) and there you can enjoy a beautiful panoramic view over the Gulf of Naples.
