Palazzo Litta, Baroque palace in Milan, Italy
The building presents a central courtyard with paired Doric columns, grand windows with curved pediments, and a monumental facade facing Corso Magenta.
Francesco Maria Richini designed the palace between 1642 and 1648 for Count Bartolomeo Arese, who became President of the Senate during Spanish rule.
The palace houses regional offices of the Ministry of Cultural Heritage and Activities, along with the Regional Museum Center of Lombardy.
Visitors can access the palace during Milan Design Week and special events, with the main entrance located at Corso Magenta 24.
The palace's original art collection included the famous Madonna Litta painting, which was sold to Tsar Alexander II in 1865 and now resides in the Hermitage Museum.
