Palazzo Branconio, Renaissance palace in L'Aquila, Italy.

The Palazzo Branconio showcases classical Renaissance architecture with defined proportions, symmetrical design, and ornate stone decorations throughout its exterior facade.

Francesco Contini designed this palace during the Renaissance period, marking a period of architectural innovation in the region of L'Aquila.

The Branconio family maintained strong connections with artist Raphael, who painted The Visitation for their chapel in the nearby Church of San Silvestro.

Visitors can reach the palace by taking Via Roma from L'Aquila's central station, with guided tours available through the local tourism office.

The palace holds the distinction of being connected to Giovanbattista Branconio, who served as the caretaker of Rome's first white elephant in 1514.
