Arcivescovado, Archbishop's palace near Piazza Duomo, Milan, Italy.

The Palazzo Arcivescovile features a Renaissance structure with a Neoclassical facade and a Mannerist portal designed by architect Pellegrino Tibaldi.

The palace underwent significant transformations from its medieval origins, with major renovations initiated by Carlo Borromeo in the 16th century and Giuseppe Piermarini in 1784.

The Courtyard of the Canonica displays semicircular arches in rusticated stone, reflecting the architectural principles of the Counter-Reformation period in Milan.

The palace functions as the residence of Milan's Archbishop and administrative center of the archdiocese, with limited access available through scheduled appointments.

Medieval frescoes discovered during 19th-century restorations reveal scenes of justice from the 14th century within the palace walls.
