Palazzina Appiani, Neoclassical museum in Milan, Italy
The white marble building features an eight-column loggia with pink granite Corinthian columns facing the Arena Civica amphitheater through its majestic balcony.
Napoleon Bonaparte commissioned the construction of this ceremonial gallery in 1807 as part of his grand plan to transform Milan into a capital city.
The Honor Hall contains a continuous monochrome frieze depicting triumphal processions and games, painted by Italian artist Andrea Appiani in Roman imperial style.
The Palazzina opens Wednesday through Friday from 10:00 to 18:00, Saturday from 10:00 to 20:00, and Sunday from 16:00 to 20:00.
The building serves as both the main entrance to Arena Civica and a testament to Napoleonic influence through its dual-facing architectural design.
