Palazzo Besta

The rectangular courtyard of Palazzo Besta contains a double loggia with arched columns and an octagonal stone well in the center.

The construction of Palazzo Besta started in 1433 under the direction of Azzo I and Azzo II Besta, possibly incorporating an earlier medieval structure.

The first floor rooms display extensive frescoes depicting scenes from the Aeneid, Orlando Furioso, and biblical narratives painted between 1540 and 1630.

The museum operates from October to April on Tuesday through Saturday from 8:00 to 14:00, with modified hours during May through mid-October.

The Antiquarium Tellinum section houses a collection of prehistoric copper age stone slabs that document the ancient history of Valtellina.
