Palazzo Beneventano del Bosco, Baroque palace in Ortigia, Italy.
The palace features twin columns, elaborate statuary, and decorative elements across its facade, facing directly towards the Cathedral of Syracuse.
Following the 1693 Sicily earthquake, Baron Guglielmo Beneventano commissioned architect Luciano Alì to transform the medieval structure into a Baroque residence by 1788.
The interior contains artistic works from Lombardic sculptor Gregorio and painter Ermenegido Martorana, representing late 18th-century Sicilian craftsmanship.
Located on Piazza Duomo, the palace requires special permission from the owners for interior visits, while the exterior remains accessible throughout the year.
Large crystal chandeliers imported from Murano illuminate the palace rooms, complementing the architectural design with Venetian glass craftsmanship.
