Casa Longobarda, Renaissance palace in Asolo, Italy

The two-story Casa Longobarda displays sandstone carvings of caricature faces, zodiac signs, and scenes from Genesis across its ornate facade.

Francesco Grazioli, the architect of Queen Cornaro's court, constructed this residence around 1490 and incorporated Doric columns on the ground floor and Ionic ones above.

The building's decorative frieze contains metopes and triglyphs, along with sculptures of animal heads and bucrania, representing classical architectural elements.

Visitors can find Casa Longobarda at Via Foresto di Pagnano 243 in Asolo, standing at an elevation of 183 meters above sea level.

The name originated from a misinterpretation of a Latin inscription on the facade indicating the architect's region of origin rather than a Lombard connection.
