Palazzo Sclafani, Medieval palace in Piazza della Vittoria, Palermo, Italy.

The palace features a southern facade with intertwined multicolor arches positioned above elegant mullioned windows made of marble stone.

Matteo Sclafani, Count of Aderno, ordered the construction of this palace in 1330 to rival the grandeur of Palazzo Chiaramonte.

The palace contained the famous 15th-century fresco Triumph of Death, which now resides in the Regional Gallery of Palazzo Abatellis.

The structure currently functions as military headquarters and requires advance arrangements through official channels for visitor access.

Archaeological excavations in the quadrangular courtyard revealed the foundations of an ancient Roman residence beneath the medieval structure.
