Palazzo Chigi alla Postierla

The Palazzo Chigi all Postierla, but sometimes referred also to as Chigi-Piccolomini or Piccolomini-Adami is a Renaissance style urban palace localized on Via del Capitano #1, corner Piazza Postierla, in the Terzo di Città, in the city of Siena, region of Tuscany, Italy.

The corner palace, with the round stone portal was commissioned by Scipione di Cristofano Chigi in the 16th century.

The palace is notable because two rooms in the main floor retain the late Renaissance decoration (1573), including stuccoes by Marcello Sparti and frescoes by Bernard van Rantwyck.

In 2014, the palace housed offices of the Soprintendenza per i Beni Architettonici e per il Paesaggio per le province di Siena e Grosseto.
