Palazzo del Provveditore, Renaissance palace in Famagusta, Cyprus
The palace features three grand arches supported by Roman columns from Salamis, with detailed stone carvings adorning its entrance facade.
The structure served as residence for Venetian governors from 1489 to 1571, with Marco Antonio Bragadin as its final inhabitant during Ottoman conquest.
The palace represents a transition from French medieval to Italian Renaissance architecture through renovations conducted between 1552 and 1554.
Visitors can explore the palace courtyard, which displays military equipment, ancient columns, and sculptures from different historical periods.
The building contains small rooms that functioned as prisons, including where Turkish writer Namik Kemal was held from 1873 to 1876.
