Palazzo del Duca, Renaissance palace in Senigallia, Italy.
The grand palace features forty-nine coffered ceilings in the Throne Room, displaying intricate artistry and architectural excellence from the Renaissance period.
Commissioned by Guidubaldo II della Rovere in the mid-sixteenth century, architect Girolamo Genga designed this palace as a representation space for court ceremonies.
The ceiling artwork incorporates carnival themes with cherubs holding authority over adults, reflecting social commentary through Renaissance artistic expression.
The palace opens Thursday through Sunday from 15:00 to 20:00, hosting exhibitions and cultural events throughout the year in its restored halls.
The palace overlooks a military square without religious buildings, featuring an off-center Fountain of Ducks that emphasizes its original defensive purpose.
