Castello Malaspina, Renaissance palace in Carrara, Italy
The palace features a medieval fortress section facing Piazza Gramsci and a Renaissance wing overlooking Via Roma, creating a distinctive architectural composition.
The initial structure dates to 1187 with a defensive tower, evolving into a castle by 1448 under the Malaspina family's ownership and expansion initiatives.
The palace contains the Sala dei Nobili, which houses Italy's national marble collection, alongside archives of local antiquarian materials and historical newspapers.
The palace functions as the Academy of Fine Arts headquarters, with specific areas open to visitors through scheduled appointments with the academy administration.
The building incorporates stained glass windows designed by Galileo Chini during the 1924-1934 restoration period following earthquake damage.
