Why go

The palace gives a building-sized setting to the medieval museum's objects. Its Renaissance frontage marks Via Manzoni, while a courtyard and older tower recall the layers beneath the later façade. Visit for the architecture together with the collections rather than expecting unrestricted access to every historic room.

What to look for

  • The Renaissance frontage addresses Via Manzoni.
  • A courtyard lies within the palace complex.
  • The Museo Civico Medievale occupies the historic building.

Useful to know

  • Look at the exterior while walking Via Manzoni.
  • Use the Museo Civico Medievale's visit information for an interior visit.
  • Allow more time if you want the museum collections as well as the palace setting.
