Palazzo Barracco, 18th-century palace in Crotone, Italy.

Palazzo Barracco is an 18th-century palace on Piazza Castello in Crotone's historic centre. From its dominant position the building looks out over the city, the sea, the countryside and the mountains, and several streets connect it to the rest of the city.

The palace dates to 1738, when it was built; the Barracco family is documented in Crotone from the late 18th century. Luigi Barracco had it rebuilt and enlarged after the 1832 earthquake, and in 1833 a royal decree ordered the demolition of the church of SS. Salvatore to make room. The family moved to Rome after Unification, and the palace declined through rare use.

Since 1995 the palace has housed the Museo dell'arte contemporanea di Crotone, known by the acronym MACK; from 1995 to 2009 it also held the offices of the Crotone Chamber of Commerce. The museum's name is the one visitors will see on the building's signage.

The palace sits centrally on Piazza Castello and is easily reached on foot from the city center. Visitors should explore the steep lanes around the square, as they form part of experiencing the historic area.

King Ferdinand II of Bourbon selected this palace for his stay during his visit to the region in 1833. This choice reflects the building's importance among local structures at that time.
