Palazzo Farnese, Renaissance palace in Ortona, Italy.
The Palazzo Farnese stands on elevated ground with eleven windows on each side and features a seven-meter-tall entrance door for carriage access.
Construction of Palazzo Farnese began in winter 1583 under Margherita D'Austria's commission, with architect Giacomo della Porta leading the project until 1586.
The palace now houses the Museum of Contemporary Art and the Cascella Gallery, displaying works by notable Italian artists including Basilio and Tommaso.
Visitors can access the municipal library, art exhibitions, and historical collections within the palace complex during regular opening hours throughout the week.
Three bronze medals were discovered in 1882 when the northeast corner foundation collapsed during construction work on Via Umberto I.
