Doria Palace, Noble palace in central La Spezia, Italy
The palace stands at the intersection of Via del Prione with Sapri and Gioberti streets, featuring a grand portal with the Doria family coat of arms.
The Doria family resided in this 17th-century palace until the 1940s, when Marquis Giorgio Doria, a Kingdom senator, relocated to a new residence.
The Società dei concerti, a group of musicologists from La Spezia, currently maintains their headquarters within the palace walls.
The noble floor of the palace transformed into Locanda Universo hotel after the Doria family departed, offering accommodations to distinguished visitors.
German composer Richard Wagner conceived the prelude to Das Rheingold in 1853 while staying at the palace, inspired by the sound of waves against rocks.
