Palazzo del Chiarone, Palace in Capalbio, Italy

The Palazzo del Chiarone stands as a rectangular structure with multiple levels, featuring a portico entrance and nearly 100 rooms throughout the building.

During the 16th century, this residence transformed into a papal customs house, controlling goods along the Via Aurelia between the Grand Duchy of Tuscany and Papal States.

The late Renaissance architecture of the palace reflects the period's construction methods, with plastered walls and specific areas designated for papal accommodation.

Located at kilometer 124 of Via Aurelia near the Chiarone stream, the palace marks the historical boundary between the regions of Tuscany and Lazio.

The palace contained specialized facilities including a customs violation prison and horse stables, serving both administrative and residential functions for centuries.
