Description
Palazzo Conte Federico is one of Palermo's most prestigious and historic 12th-century noble buildings, located between Piazza Conte Federico and Via dei Biscottari, above the Punic city walls. Just steps from the Royal Palace, the Palatine Chapel, and Palermo Cathedral, the approximately 350 square meter property, complete with garage and parking space, boasts unique architectural features appreciated by tourists from around the world. The noble palace is accessed from a 12th-century internal courtyard, finely decorated with carved stone by the great Baroque architect Venanzio Marvuglia. The courtyard also houses the Marabitti fountain. Climbing the red marble stairs to the third floor, you enter the apartment through an entrance that opens onto three reception rooms, reflecting the different eras of the palace's history. The reception rooms are furnished with original furniture and paintings by renowned artists of the period. Further down are three bedrooms, three bathrooms, a kitchen, a living room, and a storage room. An internal staircase leads to the fourth floor, leading to the terrace where you can admire Palermo Cathedral, the Royal Palace, and the entire historic center. You can also admire the 15th-century painted wooden coffered ceilings and other period artifacts.
