Palazzo Castani

The three-story palace features a marble portal, terracotta decorations, and a courtyard with Corinthian columns supporting round arches on three sides.

Built in the 15th century and reconstructed in the 17th century, this palace served as the national headquarters of the Partito Nazionale Fascista from 1921 to 1924.

The building incorporates classical elements such as tympanums with shell figures on the first floor and decorative wrought iron balconies on the second floor.

The palazzo currently houses the Central Police Station of Milan, allowing visitors to explore its historical architecture while conducting administrative business.

A peculiar metal grate beneath the ground floor window has become a point of interest for architecture enthusiasts studying Renaissance craftsmanship.
