Palazzo Abatellis, Gothic palace and art museum in Palermo, Italy

The building features a rectangular structure with an inner courtyard, twin crenellated towers, and triple-mullioned windows adorning its main facade.

Francesco Abatellis, the port master of Palermo, commissioned architect Matteo Carnilivari to build this residence between 1490 and 1495.

The Regional Gallery of Sicily displays medieval Sicilian artworks, including the Triumph of Death fresco and the Virgin of Annunciation by Antonello da Messina.

Located at Via Alloro 4 in Palermo, the museum opens daily from 9:00 to 18:30 except Mondays, with reduced hours on Sundays.

Carlo Scarpa redesigned the interior spaces in 1953 to create specific arrangements for each artwork, integrating medieval architecture with modern exhibition concepts.
