Palace of Monza, Royal residence and museum in Monza, Italy
The Palace of Monza features neoclassical architecture with five floors, 700 rooms, and extends across 22,000 square meters adjacent to the Lambro river.
Empress Maria Theresa of Austria commissioned the palace in 1777 as a summer residence for Archduke Ferdinand, with construction completed in 1780 by architect Giuseppe Piermarini.
The palace exhibits substantial collections of art and represents the Habsburg influence in Lombardy through its architectural elements and interior decorations.
The museum welcomes visitors from Tuesday to Sunday between 10:00 and 19:00, with extended hours until 22:00 on Fridays for exploring the royal apartments.
The residence connects to Monza Park, which contains a 14-kilometer wall constructed during the Napoleonic period to enclose the largest walled garden in Europe.
