Palazzo Borromeo

The palace itself is done in a few different styles. The upper story is pretty much classic palace, with lots of great windows and stuffy furniture. The lower story is done up as a grotto, which is way funkier!

There are also lots of random artifacts in the grotto, like these 16th century riding harnesses belonging to Cardinal Borromeo.

There was also a sweet wishing grotto. I did throw in some Eurocents.

The palace also had a lot of bizarre allegorical zoological tapestries, with some very odd looking serpents...
