  We report on the recent results of the hypercentral Constituent Quark Model
(hCQM). The model contains a spin independent three-quark interaction which is
inspired by Lattice QCD calculations and reproduces the average energy values
of the SU(6) multiplets. The splittings within each multiplet are obtained with
a SU(6)-breaking interaction, which can include also an isospin dependent term.
All the 3- and 4-stars resonances are well reproduced. Moreover, as all the
Constituent Quark models, the hCQM predicts ``missing'' resonances ({\em e.g.}
extra $S11$ and $P13$ states) which can be of some help for the experimental
identification of new resonances. The model provides also a good description of
the medium $Q^2$-behavior of the electromagnetic transition form factors. In
particular the calculated helicity amplitude $A_{{1/2}}$ for the $S_{11}(1535)$
resonance agrees very well with the recent CLAS data. More recently, the
elastic nucleon form factors have been calculated using a relativistic version
of the hCQM and a relativistic quark current.
