Episcopal Palace, Episcopal palace in Fiesole, Italy.
The Episcopal Palace stands in Piazza Mino, featuring a 16th-century facade and architectural elements from multiple construction periods throughout its existence.
The palace construction began in 1028 during Bishop Jacopo Bavaro's leadership, with subsequent expansions by Bishop Andrew Corsini in the fourteenth century.
The San Jacopo Chapel within the palace contains a collection of liturgical goldsmith works chronicling the evolution of religious art from medieval to modern times.
The palace maintains regular visiting hours, allowing tourists to examine the exterior architecture and view Bishop Filippo Neri Altoviti's coat of arms above the entrance.
Inside the bishop's private chapel, frescoes from the Ghirlandaio school depict Saint Romulus, Saint James, and God the Father in late 15th-century style.
