Palazzo Sant'Elia, Renaissance palace in central Palermo, Italy
The palace stretches 75 meters along Via Maqueda with 15 baroque balconies, white and ochre exterior walls, and two ornate armorial bearings on the facade.
Built between 1756 and 1776 by architects N. Anito and G. Cascione, the palace belonged to the Celestri marquises before passing to the Trigona of Sant'Elia family.
The palace interior contains elaborate ceiling frescoes by artists Ottavio Violante and Rocco Nobile, depicting scenes from classical mythology and regional history.
The exhibition center opens Tuesday through Sunday, providing access to multiple floors through scenic staircases and offering guided tours of its decorated halls.
Two separate courtyards feature intricate statues and decorative elements, with walls adorned by stuccoed decorations created by master craftsman Aloisio Romano.
