Palazzo Tezzano

The Palazzo Tezzano is a historic building in Piazza Stesicoro, which is in the center of Catania, Sicily, southern Italy.

 

The building has an imposing appearance, a square shape with an inner courtyard that surrounds the building, forming a "U" facing north. The entrance from the Piazza Stesicoro is across a wide front door, at the center of the main façade, dominated by a monumental balcony above which is a clock tower. The façade is symmetrical and is divided in height from false stone columns that contrast with the basalt plaster creating a division into five architectural units per side.
