Palazzo del Senato, Baroque palazzo in central Milan, Italy

The Palazzo del Senato features a curved facade with large rusticated stone blocks and two interior courtyards surrounded by Tuscan and Ionic columns.

Cardinal Federico Borromeo initiated construction in 1608 to establish the Swiss Seminary College on the site of a former convent of Umiliate nuns.

The building now functions as the State Archive of Milan, preserving important historical documents and serving as a center for historical research.

The State Archive within Palazzo del Senato maintains regular opening hours and provides access to researchers studying historical documents from Milan's past.

The palazzo's convex facade, designed by Francesco Maria Richini, creates an architectural solution that aligns perfectly with the adjacent church structure.
