Palazzo della Pilotta, Art palace in Parma, Italy
The Palazzo della Pilotta contains three large courtyards with a monumental scissor staircase leading to multiple cultural institutions and exhibition spaces.
Construction of the palace began in 1583 under Duke Ottavio Farnese with the creation of a corridor connecting the ancient Viscontea Fortress to Farnese family houses.
The National Gallery inside the palace displays numerous artworks, including collections from Sebastiano Ricci, Antonio da Correggio, and Leonardo da Vinci.
Visitors can explore the palace from Tuesday through Sunday between 10:30 AM and 7:00 PM, with complete wheelchair accessibility throughout the building.
The name Pilotta derives from pelota, a ball game Spanish soldiers stationed in Parma played in one of the palace courtyards.
