Palazzo San Giuliano, Catania, Baroque palace in Catania, Italy
The entrance portal of Palazzo San Giuliano displays two coat of arms representing the Paternò Castello family and the Asmundos aristocratic lineages.
Following the destruction caused by the 1693 Sicilian earthquake, architect Giovanni Battista Vaccarini completed Palazzo San Giuliano in 1738 for the Marquise of San Giuliano.
The palace interiors underwent multiple transformations throughout its history, serving as a hospital, bank, theater, and hotel before becoming part of the University.
Located in Piazza Universitaria, the palace now houses administrative offices of the University of Catania, facing Palazzo dell'Università across the square.
The palace features a traditional double flight of stairs in its courtyard, leading visitors to the piano nobile with its refined architectural elements.
