Palazzo dell'Antella

Palazzo dell'Antella, also known as Palazzo Atellesi, is a stunning palace located on Piazza Santa Croce in Florence, Italy. With its medieval origins, the palace was significantly enlarged in the late 16th century and features a beautifully frescoed façade created by renowned artists in the early 17th century. The intricate decorations include allegorical panels, puttos, and floral motifs, with a prominent bust of Cosimo II de' Medici at its center. Visitors can admire the architectural illusion of the façade as the windows become closer together near the church of Santa Croce. While the ground floor is lively with restaurants and shops, the upper floors offer luxury apartments, making it a fascinating blend of history and modern living.
