Palazzo Costantino - Palermo

Palazzo Costantino was built in the second half of the 18th century on earlier seventeenth-century buildings.

Bought by the Marquis Costantino and Leone, it was renovated in 1785 , based on a design by Venanzio Marvuglia, the ceilings were painted by Gioacchino Martorana.

There is no trace left of the gilded mirrors, the painted doors with upper doors, the Murano glass chandeliers, the consoles and the furniture. But it remains exciting to enter. In the gallery, the fresco "The Battle of Constantine" by Giuseppe Velasco occupies the entire ceiling.
