Palazzo Reale, Renaissance royal palace in Siena, Italy.
The Palazzo Reale exhibits a symmetrical layout with a central courtyard, incorporating regional materials and Renaissance architectural elements throughout its structure.
Constructed in 1489 under the direction of architect Bernardo Buontalenti, the palace underwent substantial modifications between 1590 and 1594 during Medici control.
The palace represents the transition of power from the Republic of Siena to Florentine rule, serving as the residence for governors of the Grand Duchy of Tuscany.
The palace functions as the provincial administration headquarters and remains open to visitors interested in exploring its Renaissance architecture and historical rooms.
The Saloncino, a court theater built adjacent to the palace by Mattias de Medici, was later granted to the Accademia dei Rozzi in 1690.
