The Ivrea Episcopal Palace (Italian: Palazzo del Vescovado di Ivrea) is a historic building located in Ivrea, Italy.

History

The palace was formed over the centuries through successive works of expansion, renovation, and stratification. Although it is possible to discern structures dating back to Roman times, such as in the foundations, the core of the building is medieval, probably originating as a fortified house, as evidenced by its imposing tower dating from the 15th century.[1]

Description

The large hall located on main floor is decorated with frescoes covering all four walls and depicting the territory of the diocese. Some studies conducted on the frescoes suggest that they were created around the mid-18th century.[2]
