Palazzo Ramirez de Montalvo, Renaissance palazzo in Borgo degli Albizi, Florence, Italy.
The palace features an elaborate graffiti facade designed by Giorgio Vasari, with decorative elements celebrating the Spanish courtier's life and Medici connections.
Antonio Ramirez de Montalvo, chief steward to Grand Duke Cosimo I, commissioned architect Bartolomeo Ammannati to merge several properties into this palace in 1568.
The main hall contains a wooden ceiling with lacunars that mirrors the design of the Hall of the Five Hundred at Palazzo Vecchio.
The building currently houses an auction house on its main floor, while maintaining many original architectural features from the 16th century.
Baron Filippo De Stosch, who rented the palace in the 18th century, conducted espionage activities for England while pretending to study antiquities.
