Palazzo Vitelleschi, Renaissance palace in Tarquinia, Italy
The palace combines Gothic and Renaissance architectural elements, featuring ornate windows, decorated portals, and a central courtyard with open galleries.
Cardinal Giovanni Maria Vitelleschi commissioned this palace between 1436 and 1439, incorporating sections of earlier buildings into the new structure.
The building houses the National Archaeological Museum of Tarquinia, displaying Etruscan artifacts, stone sarcophagi, and ancient jewelry from local excavations.
The museum occupies multiple floors of the palace, with dedicated sections for funerary items, decorative arts, and archaeological discoveries from regional sites.
The palace walls present carved reliefs of patron saints, including Saint Lituardo, Saint Pantaleone, and Saint Secondiano, alongside family heraldic emblems.
