Palazzo Lanfranchi, 17th-century palace in Piazza Giovanni Pascoli, Italy.
The palace features an asymmetric facade divided into two orders, with five niches containing statues of religious figures and a central rose window.
Built between 1668 and 1672 by Capuchin friar Francesco da Copertino, the structure incorporated a former Carmelite convent and served as a diocesan seminary.
The National Museum of Medieval and Modern Art of Basilicata displays paintings by Carlo Levi and works from the 17th-century Neapolitan school.
Located 850 meters from Matera Centrale railway station, the palace charges entrance fees of 2 euros for full access and 1 euro for reduced admission.
The interior features a 17th-century cloister decorated with a period sundial and commemorative busts of the building's financial contributors.
