Palazzo Campana, located in Colle di Val d'Elsa, is a valuable example of sixteenth-century Tuscan mannerist architecture, designed by Giuliano di Baccio d'Agnolo in 1536. Overlooking the homonymous bridge, the palace has an unfinished two-storey façade with a grandiose Renaissance arch and large windows, made of sandstone and plaster. The arch leads to Via del Castello, the main street of the historic center, flanked by numerous patrician buildings.
