Palazzo Salis
About This Museum
Tucked away on a quiet street in the heart of Tirano, the Palazzo Salis feels like stepping into a secret. You wander through room after room that haven't changed for centuries, with original frescoes on the ceilings and creaky, beautiful parquet floors underfoot. It's not a stuffy museum at all, but a lived-in family home where you can almost hear the echoes of past gatherings. The intimate scale makes you feel more like a guest than a tourist, which is its real magic.
Collection Highlights
A stunning private chapel entirely covered in intricate stucco work and family portraits that seem to follow you with their eyes. Don't miss the grand ballroom with its enormous fireplace and the charmingly preserved 18th-century kitchen.
Visitor Information
It's right on Via Salis, easy to find once you're in Tirano's historic center. Just check their website for opening times as they can be seasonal—it’s the kind of place where it's best to plan ahead.
Architecture & Building
A classic, elegant Italian palazzo from the Baroque era, with a deceptively simple exterior that opens up into a gorgeous internal courtyard you'd never expect from the street.
