Palazzo San Massimo, Medieval palace in Salerno, Italy.

The four-level palace encompasses 3,700 square meters of space, featuring multiple rooms distributed across different floors in the upper historical center.

Prince Guaiferio established the palace and adjacent church of San Massimo between 861 and 888, as documented in the foundation act of 868.

The palace walls contain marble blocks inscribed with messages from Prince Guaiferio, preserving written records from the 9th century construction period.

The structure requires extensive restoration work and remains closed to visitors, as it has been abandoned since its transfer to Salerno Municipality in 1985.

The building included a covered passage connecting the noble residence to the church, allowing the prince's family private access to religious services.
