Cuba Palace Palace

Cuba Palace (Palazzo Cuba) is a historic palazzo in Palermo, Sicily, notable for its compact, cube-like main block and decorated interior spaces. It dates to the late medieval and early Renaissance period of Palermos urban development and served as a noble residence.

Architectural interest centres on the palaces plan and interior halls rather than large external ornament; the building is often visited for its interior rooms and as part of walks through Palermos historic districts. The palazzo sits close to other historic groups around Piazza Marina.
