History and description
Palazzo Papafava dei Carraresi is a palace in Padua, located in the historic center of the city.
Architecture
The palace, of considerable size and of classical prospect, was designed by Giovan Battista Novello. The setting of interior spaces is unusual for the Venetian area: the rooms are organized starting from a large entrance hall with Doric columns on which a Juvarrian stairwell opens. This setting was retained a few years later in the Palazzo Maldura.
