Palatium Vetus, Medieval palace in Alessandria, Italy
The four-story Palatium Vetus features medieval architecture with trifora windows, frescoes, and stone decorations on its western side of Piazza della Libertà.
Built in the 13th century, this palace served as the city's administrative center, later housing Spanish governors, House of Savoy representatives, and Napoleonic prefects.
The main hall displays a collection of painted shields, including the city's coat of arms and emblems of prominent families from the late 13th century.
The Fondazione Cassa di Risparmio di Alessandria manages the palace, offering virtual tours and exhibitions of 19th and 20th-century art collections on the ground floor.
The restoration by architect Gae Aulenti incorporated a glass elevator and steel courtyard covering while preserving the medieval Broletto core structure.
