The story of Farnese Palace, eighth residence of the dinasty up to its extinction in 1731, began in 1558, when the Dukes Ottavio and Margherita started its construction. The project was entrusted to Jacopo Barozzi knows as Vignola.
The building has three floors, two mezzanines, a large basement on the ground floor and two elegant loggias facing the inner ward, with corner niches and exedras. The architectural restoration has made it possible to appreciate the large volumes of the palace. Today Farnese Palace hosts the city museum.
