Prinetti Palace, Palace in Merate, Italy

Palazzo Prinetti stands in Piazza Prinetti with a cylindrical tower reaching seven floors and a central courtyard containing a stone well.

The palace was constructed in the early 1700s by Abbot Ercole Visconti on the site of a medieval castle that was destroyed during the Visconti-Torriani conflicts.

The structure includes decorated wooden ceilings added by Minister Giulio Prinetti and an eighteenth-century chapel dedicated to Saint Dionysius.

The palace currently functions as a conference center, hosting meetings and concerts under the management of the local parish since 1946.

The original architectural plan called for four corner towers, but only one was completed, resulting in the distinctive asymmetrical appearance of the building.
