Palazzo Carciotti, Neoclassical palace at Canal Grande, Trieste, Italy
The palace features a grand copper-covered dome topped with a Napoleonic eagle and six allegorical statues adorning its main balustrade facing the shores.
Greek merchant Demetrio Carciotti commissioned architect Matteo Pertsch to design this residence in 1798, with construction completed by 1805 on former salt flats.
The round hall contains sixteen monolithic columns and frescoes by Giuseppe Bernardino Bison depicting scenes from Homer's Iliad and Odyssey epics.
The building spans 9,784 square meters across five floors, originally incorporating merchant residences, warehouses, and commercial spaces near Trieste's waterfront.
The palace served as the first headquarters of Assicurazioni Generali in 1831 before housing the Austro-Hungarian Bank and Port Authority.
