The Palazzo delle Scuole Palatine (Palace of the Palatine Schools) is a historic building of Milan, Italy, located in Piazza Mercanti, the former city centre in the Middle Ages.

Many notable Milanese scholars of different ages studied or taught in these schools; Augustine of Hippo and Cesare Beccaria,[1] among others, served as teachers in the Palatine.

The current building dates back to 1644, when it replaced an older one, which had the same function and was destroyed by a fire.

In 1644, they were destroyed by a fire, and rebuilt based on the prestigious model of the nearby Palazzo dei Giureconsulti, by architect Carlo Buzzi.

The building is decorated with several monuments, including a statue of the Ancient Roman poet Ausonius and a plaque with one of his epigrams celebrating Milan as the "New Rome" of the 4th century.
