The original 16th-century 'pietra del pesce' located along the Chiaia beach, damaged during the uprisings of 1647-’48, was gradually converted into an austere mansion, which was acquired around 1730 by the Prince of Conca. He transformed the property into an elegant house, characterized by mixed-line cornices and stucco work on the windows. The building was demolished in 1780 as part of the construction of the Real Passeggiata by Carlo Vanvitelli.
