Palazzo Pfanner

Palazzo Pfanner is a palace and a garden in Lucca, Italy, now converted into a museum of art and artifacts. Originally known as the Palazzo Controni[1], the building dates to 1667, and is notable mainly for its fine garden, attributed to Filippo Juvarra, and an interesting external stairway with loggia.
