Palazzo Ducale Mantua, Renaissance palace and art museum in Mantua, Italy
The Palazzo Ducale stretches across multiple buildings connected by corridors and galleries, covering an area of 35,000 square meters in the center of Mantua.
The Gonzaga family developed this complex from the 14th to 17th centuries, transforming a medieval fortress into a grand residence with over 500 rooms and gardens.
