Palazzo Spannocchi, Siena, Renaissance palace in Piazza Salimbeni, Siena, Italy

The three-story palazzo exhibits smooth stone walls with mullioned windows featuring round arches on the second floor and a protruding cornice near the roofline.

Ambrogio Spannocchi, treasurer to Pope Pius II, commissioned architect Giuliano da Maiano to construct this palace in 1473 for his prominent merchant family.

The palace design incorporates Roman influences through classical emperor busts adorning the roofline cornice, marking a shift from Gothic architectural traditions.

Located just off Via Banchi di Sopra in the Terzo di Camollia district, the palazzo stands near the Monte dei Paschi di Siena bank headquarters.

The interior features a scenic stairwell leading to the second floor, while the exterior mirrors the design of Florence's Palazzo Medici Riccardi.

Location: Siena

Architects: Giuliano da Maiano
