Th vast Prefecture Palace was built on the site of the Apostolic Legate Palace, which served as the seat of a permanent representative of the Holy See in Ravenna starting in the 13th century. The building was damaged and restored several times, but eventually demolished because of the serious damage suffered during the 1688 earthquake, rebuilt between 1694 and 1696, and serves today as the seat of the Prefecture. It has a simple facade embellished by a marble baroque portal with broken tympanum and flanked by columns.
