Palazzo del Capitano di Giustizia, Mannerist palazzo in Milan, Italy

The Palazzo del Capitano di Giustizia features a symmetrical facade with stone elements and pronounced architectural details characteristic of late 16th-century Italian design.

Construction of the palace began in 1578 and concluded in 1605, serving as headquarters for law enforcement and containing prison facilities for the Duchy of Milan.

The building represents the transition between Renaissance and Baroque architecture, designed by Pietro Antonio Barca during the period of Spanish control over Milan.

Located in central Milan, the palazzo stands as a testament to civil architecture and maintains its original exterior structure despite centuries of urban development.

The structure incorporates specific architectural solutions from Pietro Antonio Barca, who modified initial plans to create a building that merged security needs with administrative functions.
