Palazzo Lanfranchi-Toscanelli, Renaissance palace on Lungarno Mediceo, Pisa, Italy.

The palace features Renaissance architecture with marble details along the Lungarno Mediceo, displaying classical proportions and symmetrical design elements.

Originally commissioned by Bartolomeo Lanfranchi in the 16th century, the palace underwent renovations in 1576 under Francesco Mosca and in 1827 by architect Alessandro Gherardesca.
