Bucovice Palace

|
Designed by Jacopo Strada and unimpressive on the outside, Bucovice Palace hides its treasures well, for it is the interior of this palace where many surprises are in store for the visitor. The main highlight is the interior courtyard. This courtyard has 90 columns and 540 relief carvings carried out by Elia Canavale and Antonio Silva. The carved images include battle scenes, coats of arms, fantasy animals and creatures, along with masks and musical instruments.

The interior of the palace was decorated in the late 16th Century and is very well preserved. One particular room is painted with a scene of hares taking revenge on mankind and their dogs.
The Renaissance garden in behind the palace is worth a visit as it is very well done with hedges in intricate designs and trees manicured in ornate designs.
