Palazzo Piccolomini, Renaissance palazzo museum in Pienza, Italy.
The three-story palace features symmetrical architecture with a central courtyard, loggia, and stone walls decorated with classical ornaments throughout its facades.
Architect Bernardo Rossellino constructed this palace between 1459 and 1462 following the orders of Pope Pius II to establish his summer residence.
The museum displays papal artifacts, Renaissance furniture, and period decorations across multiple rooms that showcase the daily life of noble families.
The palazzo opens Tuesday through Sunday from 10:00 to 18:00, with guided tours available in multiple languages upon advance reservation.
The hanging garden offers direct views of Mount Amiata and Val d'Orcia through a series of terraces designed to integrate nature with architecture.
