Palazzo Ducale, Neoclassical palace in Reggio Emilia, Italy.
The Palazzo Ducale stretches along Corso Garibaldi, displaying three inner courtyards and a grand neoclassical façade across from the Basilica della Ghiara.
Duke Francesco III issued a decree in 1783 to demolish the Monastery of San Pietro Martyr, establishing the foundation for the construction of this government building.
The palace represents the transition from religious to administrative power, transforming from a monastery into the seat of local governance for Reggio Emilia.
The building currently functions as the headquarters for both the Provincial Administration and Prefecture offices, maintaining regular government operating hours.
Architect Pietro Marchelli conducted extensive renovations between 1838 and 1845, incorporating the former private chapel of Santa Liberata into the palace structure.
