The Palazzo Latilla is an 18th-century monumental palace located on Via Tarsia #28, in the quartiere nel quartiere Avvocata of Naples, Italy.
Avvocata is a quarter of Naples, southern Italy. It is just outside, to the west, of the original historic centre of the Greco-Roman city of Naples.

The most prominent landmark in the area is the large square, Piazza Dante.
Naples is a major city in southern Italy. It is the capital of the Campania region, and the third-largest municipality in Italy after Rome and Milan. The city is called Napoli in Italian, and Napule in Neapolitan. The name comes from Ancient Greek Νεάπολις, meaning "new city", via the Latin Neapolis.
The palace was constructed (1758–1761) by fusing three adjacent houses previously on the site. The design was by Mario Gioffredo, and the structure was built for the municipal councilman Ferdinando Latilla. The facade had a massive stone portal leading into a small inner courtyard with stairs. In 1988, it became property of the Faculty of Architecture, and used for classrooms and offices, of the MAED-Materioteca per l’Architettura e il Design, the Centro CITTAM, and the Centro Urban/Eco.

Mario Gaetano Gioffredo, also called the Neapolitan Vitruvius, was an Italian architect, engineer, and engraver.

A geographic coordinate system is a coordinate system that enables every location on Earth to be specified by a set of numbers, letters or symbols. The coordinates are often chosen such that one of the numbers represents a vertical position and two or three of the numbers represent a horizontal position; alternatively, a geographic position may be expressed in a combined three-dimensional Cartesian vector. A common choice of coordinates is latitude, longitude and elevation. To specify a location on a plane requires a map projection.
