Palazzo della Macina, Renaissance palace in Luzzara, Italy.

Palazzo della Macina is a Renaissance palace in Luzzara featuring a loggia with three semicircular arches supported by marble columns topped with ornately decorated capitals. The structure occupies a substantial footprint and displays the classical design typical of the era.

Luzzara's Gonzaga palace was built around 1481 to a design by Luca Fancelli, covering the whole area south of the castle between the parish church and today's town hall. The War of the Spanish Succession, culminating in the battle of 15 August 1702, spared only the part still standing. After the Gonzagas left, it served for centuries as a public building, then stood abandoned in state hands until Italian unification.

The polychrome ceramic coat of arms above the main door is by Luca della Robbia; it is circular, framed by garlands of pine branches, a symbol of fertility. The Gonzaga emblem marks the family that held Luzzara and built the palace around 1481. The building now serves as the parish oratory.

The palace stands on Via Avanzi in Luzzara, south of the castle area between the parish church and the town hall. Visitors reach it on foot through the town centre streets; the Gonzaga coat of arms above the main door is the landmark to look for on the facade.

The name comes from the 18th century when the building served as a collection point for grain milling taxes. This practical function reveals how important this location was for local administration and commerce.
