Palazzo Isnello, Late Baroque palace in Kalsa district, Palermo, Italy.
Palazzo Isnello is a late Baroque palace in the Kalsa district that rises between Via del Cassaro and Piazza Borsa. Its neoclassical facade opens to ornately decorated interior spaces spread across multiple floors.
The palace was built upon six medieval houses and underwent major expansion between 1748 and 1750 under Count Vincenzo Termine di Isnello. This construction phase shaped its current appearance.
The ballroom ceiling displays Vito D'Anna's fresco 'Apotheosis of Palermo', while Francesco Sozzi painted the Four Seasons cycle in another room. These artworks continue to shape the atmosphere of the grand interior spaces.
Some rooms on the piano nobile are available for private events, while other sections remain residential. Check ahead to see which areas are open to visitors before you come.
The historian Michele Amari found shelter here until 1843, before exile to France due to his revolutionary writings against the Bourbon rulers. This residence connected the palace to an important chapter in Italian intellectual history.
