Apostolic Palace, Museum building near Basilica della Santa Casa in Loreto, Italy
The Apostolic Palace features eight halls displaying artworks, including Lorenzo Lotto paintings and numerous artifacts collected throughout centuries of pilgrimage history.
Construction of the palace began in 1468 with architect Donato Bustamante, who integrated defensive elements into the design due to Turkish raids along the Adriatic coast.
The palace houses a silver and ebony crucifix crafted by Giambologna, representing a gift from Joan of Austria to the religious complex.
