Sull'area occupata dal palazzo oggi
spazio museale e sede di mostre
sorgeva, in etΰ comunale, il Broletto
Vecchio, prima sede del potere civile.
Con l'avvento della signoria l'edificio
diviene residenza della famiglia Visconti;
nel 1330, per volontΰ di Azzone, θ
ricostruito attorno a due cortili, uno dei
quali corrisponde a quello interno visibile
ancora oggi. Dopo il trasferimento della
corte ducale al Castello Sforzesco
(1467) il palazzo diventa sede del
governo spagnolo (1535) e poi di quello
austriaco (1707). L'edificio θ oggi frutto
dell'intervento realizzato tra il 1772 e il
1778 da Giuseppe Piermarini, che
demolisce il corpo verso il Duomo
trasformando il primo cortile in una
piazza aperta con facciate neoclassiche.
A questa fase appartiene anche la
sistemazione degli interni con lo scalone
d'onore, gli appartamenti del piano
nobile e la Sala delle Cariatidi: costruita
sullo spazio occupato dal teatro di
Corte, incendiatosi nel 1776, la sala θ
danneggiata dai bombardamenti del
1943 e restaurata nel 2000.
The royal palace, now a museum and
exhibition venue, stands on the site occupied
at the time of the medieval communes by
the Broletto Vecchio, the first seat of civil
power. Under seigneurial rule the building
became the residence of the Visconti family,
and in 1330 Azzone Visconti had the
palace rebuilt around two courtyards, one
of which survives. In 1467 the ducal court
moved to the Sforza Castle. The palace
became the seat of the ruling Spanish
powers in 1535 and of the Austrian
authorities in 1707. The building as it
appears today is the result of work done by
Giuseppe Piermarini (1772-78), who
demolished the part nearest the cathedral
and turned one courtyard into an open
square, with the palace's Neo-Classical
faηades as its backdrop. The

royal
apartments and the monumental staircase
were renovated, and the Caryatid Hall was
built in the area left by the court theatre
following its destruction by fire in 1776.
This hall was damaged in the air raid
attacks of 1943 and restored in 2000.
