The Palazzo Reale of Milan was the seat of government of the city of Milan for many centuries and today, however, is the privileged place for art shows and exhibitions. It was initially designed and built with two courtyards, which were then partially demolished to make way for the Dome. The Palazzo Reale is located on the right of the Dome facade and opposite the famous Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II.
