Palazzo Estense, Baroque palace in Varese, Italy.
The Palazzo Estense features a symmetrical facade with ornate decorations, extensive gardens, and a central circular pool surrounded by geometric flower beds.
Francesco III d'Este, Duke of Modena and Austrian governor of Lombardy, acquired the palace in 1765 after architect Giuseppe Bianchi completed its construction.
The Salone d'Onore contains intricate stucco work and decorative elements representing the architectural excellence of eighteenth-century Italian noble residences.
The palace functions as Varese's city hall, offering access to administrative services and hosting regular municipal council meetings throughout the year.
The gardens connect directly to Villa Mirabello through a network of pathways, creating an extended green space with a Ginkgo Biloba tree.
