Schloss Porcia

Spittal an der Drau, Carinthia

ausstellungmuseumstour

This palazzo, which is rightly the pride of the population, is one of the most beautiful Renaissance buildings north of the Alps. Commissioned by Gabriel von Salamanca and his descendants, Italian masters created a unique work of Renaissance art here. For a long time, the castle also served as a residence for the Princes of Porcia (1662-1918). The beauty of the three-story arcaded courtyard today provides a worthy setting for cultural events of international renown (choir competition, comedy plays). The Museum of Folk Culture is located on the two upper floors.
