Palazzo Comitini

The Palazzo Comitini in Palermo is an imposing city palace built between 1766 and 1781 by Nicolò Palma for the Principe Gravina di Comitini. Two arched portals divide the façade on Via Maqueda into three sections, and the third floor, with its wrought-iron balconies and curved Baroque gables, highlights the former reception rooms. Despite later alterations, including an added story in 1931, valuable Rococo elements have survived inside. Here you can see the Green Room with its original Murano chandeliers, as well as the Sala Martorana, which houses a famous ceiling fresco by Gioacchino Martorana from 1770.
