Palazzo Farnese, Renaissance city palace in Piacenza, Italy.
The Palazzo Farnese spans multiple levels with two noble floors, a basement, two mezzanines, and an upper floor in a rectangular configuration.
Construction began in 1558 under Margaret of Austria's commission, with architect Giacomo Barozzi da Vignola revising initial plans over a former Visconti fortress.
The Municipal Museums within the palace contain archaeological finds, including the Etruscan bronze liver, paintings from regional artists, and a collection of weapons.
The palace opens Tuesday through Thursday from 9:00 to 13:00, Friday to Sunday from 9:00 to 13:00 and 15:00 to 18:00, with adult tickets at 10 euros.
The grand iron gate at the entrance, created in the late 1600s, features the ducal coat of arms adorned with Farnese family lilies.
