Renaissance palace in Correggio's historic heart

6.4/10
#1 of 4 in Locorotondo

Travelers visiting Locorotondo should be aware that there is no widely recognized public landmark specifically named "Palazzo dei Principi" within the town. The provided research indicates that the Palazzo dei Principi is located in Correggio, in the province of Reggio Emilia, not in Locorotondo, which is in the Puglia region. It is likely that the query confuses the location or refers to a different palace in Locorotondo, such as the Palazzo Delle Marche or other historic residences, but "Palazzo dei Principi" is not documented as a site in Locorotondo.

The Palazzo dei Principi in Correggio was built at the request of Francesca of Brandenburg and completed in 1507. It served as the seat of the da Correggio Signoria and the residence of Prince Sirio da Correggio. The design reflects Ferrarese artistic influence, with contributions from architect Biagio Rossetti. It features an exposed brick facade, single and double arched windows, and a central portal with significant Renaissance bass-reliefs. Today, it houses the town's library, historical archives, and the Museo Il Correggio.

Visits are coordinated with the Il Correggio Museum. It is open on Saturdays from 10:00 AM to 7:00 PM, and on Sundays from 10:00 AM to 12:30 PM and 4:00 PM to 7:00 PM. From Tuesday to Friday, it is open by appointment only. The site is closed throughout August. Admission is free.

If "Palazzo dei Principi" refers to a specific local landmark in Locorotondo, it is not documented in the current sources. Visitors to Locorotondo can explore its verified attractions, such as the Piazza della LibertΓ  and the historic center. It is advisable to consult the local tourist information office for specific locations of palaces in Locorotondo.
