About
Palazzo Colleoni alla Pace is a historical building in Brescia located at Via della Pace, in the heart of the historic center of the city.
Built in the middle of the 15th century for the Bergamasque condottiere Bartolomeo Colleoni, it was later bequeathed to the Martinengo Colleoni family and, when the dynastic line of the family died out, to the Fathers of Peace, then permanent owners of the palace.
The building, which has been modified several times, is nevertheless one of the best examples of fifteenth-century residential architecture in the city; it also houses the largest and most important cycle of wooden ceiling paintings in the Brescia area.
