Palazzo Maggi Gambara, Renaissance palace in Piazza del Foro, Italy.

The palace displays symmetrical proportions and refined geometric patterns across its south facade, incorporating traditional Renaissance architectural elements of the period.

The Maggi family constructed this palace during the late 16th century on the remains of Roman theater stalls, later transferring ownership to the Gambara family.

The interior features a collection of frescoes portraying ancient Romans and military trophies, demonstrating the Renaissance interest in classical antiquity.

Visitors can reach the palace by taking bus lines 2, 6, 10, 11, 17, or 18 to Piazza Martiri di Belfiore, located 300 meters from the site.

The palace remained intact during 20th-century excavations of the Roman theater due to its substantial collection of historically significant frescoes.
