Browsing by completed year separates a building's finish date from its start date.Facts16th centurySourcesComments (0)Reader Challenges (0)FactsComparisonEra of EmergenceWell-attested2000 BCE 1Origin RegionWell-attestedCrete (Minoan civilization) 116th centuryFilter Results35 entriesBuilding FamilyAllPalaces of Central Italy (14)Palaces of Italy (22)Palaces of Northern Italy (8)Palaces of the United Kingdom and Ireland (7)Palaces of Western Europe (6)StyleAllBaroque Architecture (4)Elizabethan Architecture (3)Georgian Architecture (1)Gothic Revival (1)Herrerian Architecture (1)Mannerism (3)Neoclassical Architecture (1)Renaissance Architecture (14)Rococo Architecture (1)Tudor Architecture (1)MaterialAllGranite (1)Limestone (1)Stone (1)Building TypeAllchateau (1)Country House (3)Historic house museum (1)House (1)Manor house (1)Museum (1)Palace (6)palace, official presidential residence (1)Royal Chateau (1)Royal Monastery and Palace Complex (1)Royal Palace (1)Stately home (1)Villa (16)Standing StatusAllDemolished (1)Standing (34)GroupAllPalaces of Central Italy (14)Palaces of Northern Italy (8)Palaces of the United Kingdom and Ireland (7)Palaces of Western Europe (6)PlaceAllDenmark (1)France (2)Italy (21)Luxembourg (1)Malta (1)Spain (1)United Kingdom (7)Vatican City (1)BrowseCompareSelect all 35Burghley House16th centuryCasina Pio IV16th centuryChateau de Chambord16th centuryChateau de Chenonceau16th centuryDoddington Hall16th centuryEl Escorial16th centuryGrand Ducal Palace of Luxembourg16th centuryHampton Court Palace16th centuryHardwick Hall16th centuryHesselagergard16th centuryLongford Castle16th centuryLongleat16th centuryPalazzo del Te16th centuryQuirinal Palace16th centuryTheobalds House16th centuryVilla Aldobrandini16th centuryVilla dei Vescovi, Luvigliano16th centuryVilla del Balbiano16th centuryVilla del Barone16th centuryVilla Della Porta Bozzolo16th centuryVilla delle Peschiere16th centuryVilla Di Negro Rosazza dello Scoglietto16th centuryVilla Duodo16th centuryVilla Falconieri16th centuryVilla Farnesina16th centuryVilla Giulia16th centuryVilla Lancellotti16th centuryVilla Litta, Lainate16th centuryVilla Madama16th centuryVilla Medicea L'Ambrogiana16th centuryVilla Medici16th centuryVilla Parisio16th centuryVilla Rufinella16th centuryVilla Torrigiani16th centuryVilla Vecchia16th centurySources1.
