Walking along Via Mameli and Via Santa Chiara you reach Viale XX Settembre where the main entrance to Palazzo Coronini Cronberg overlooks.

Built towards the end of the 16th century by Count Carlo Zengraf, the palace, known as Graffenberg, passed a few years later to a branch of the Strassoldo family. Over the following centuries, the chapel, the double loggia connecting it to the main building, the adjacent chancellery, and, a short distance away, the stables were built. In 1820, all of Graffenberg's appurtenances were purchased by Count Michele Coronini Cronberg, who underwent further renovations, including the construction of a new wing overlooking the garden. A few years later, in 1836, the building hosted the exiled King of France, Charles X of Bourbon, for less than a month, who died here of cholera.

We owe to Count Alfredo, starting from 1880, the arrangement of the area surrounding the Palace into an English-style park, while it was his nephew Guglielmo, the last descendant of the family, who studied the museum layout of the interior and who wanted the Palace to be used by the public, through the establishment of a Foundation, created after his death in 1990.

Today, the Palazzo is a historic residence open to the public, hosting exhibitions, conferences, concerts, and other events. The 15 rooms on display feature precious furnishings and everyday objects that recreate the atmosphere of a truly lived-in home, allowing the presence of the former owners to be felt in every room. Noteworthy works of art include two of Franz Xaver Messerschmidt's famous "character heads," the only ones preserved in Italy.
