Palazzo Erba Odescalchi, Mannerist palace in central Milan, Italy.

The palace features twelve busts of Roman emperors on window tympanums and a courtyard decorated with female figures surrounded by semicircular arches.

The structure became the residence of Bishop Benedetto Erba Odescalchi in the 18th century following architectural modifications by Pellegrino Tibaldi in 1570.

The palace represents the influence of the Erba-Odescalchi family, which produced important religious figures including Pope Innocent XI and multiple cardinals.

The building now functions as the headquarters of the II Police District of Milan, located at Via Unione 5.

A helicoidal staircase within the courtyard exemplifies 16th-century architectural innovation and connects the different levels of the palace.
