Palermo has many palaces; here is a selection to complement those presented in the main category of Palaces of Palermo<\/a>.

Palazzo Alliata di VillaFranca<\/h2>\n

This ancient palace, dating back to the 16th century, first belonged to the da Bologna<\/strong> family, then in the early 17th century to the Alliata<\/strong>, princes of Villafranca.
\nIt was substantially restored in the 18th century in a late Baroque style, aiming to modernize the interior spaces and harmonize the fa\u00e7ade with the aesthetic canons of the period, while preserving some of the original Renaissance elements.
\nIts large fa\u00e7ade is adorned with coats of arms and its monumental entrances are decorated with four 18th-century marble statues (a Roman woman, Vesta, Apollo and Diana).<\/p>\n

Lapidation of Saint Stephen, Stom (1639), Salon of Prince Alliata<\/p><\/div>\n

The interior, once very rich in Rococo furniture, preserves beautiful salons and rooms, some adorned with frescoes by Gaspare Serenario. They mainly decorate the ceiling of the main salon and depict mythological and allegorical scenes.
\nOther rooms preserve stuccoes and mouldings characteristic of the 18th century, and there is a monumental staircase, enfilade galleries and a central courtyard typical of Palermo palaces.
\nIt once held an important collection of artworks, some of which remain, such as the Crucifixion<\/em> by Van Dyck, or works by Pietro Novelli and other painters.
\nThe building regularly hosts exhibitions and events, often in collaboration with the Fondazione Alliata di Villafranca and local cultural institutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
