Palazzo Pica Alfieri, Baroque palace in L'Aquila, Italy.

The palace features a three-part facade with a columned balcony, two entrance portals, and a quadrangular layout opening to an interior courtyard.

Purchased by Ludovico Alfieri in 1685 for 1,700 ducats, the palace underwent reconstruction by architect Francesco Fontana after the 1703 earthquake.

The palace houses an art gallery containing works by various Italian painters, including pieces by Girolamo Cenatiempo within its central courtyard.

Following extensive restoration work that began in 2014, the palace reopened to the public on September 29, 2018 after an 8 million euro renovation.

The building stands on the site of a Renaissance structure where Queen Giovanna of Aragon stayed in 1493, known then as Palace of the Count of Montorio.
