Palazzo Ducale di Mantova, also known as the Ducal Palace of Mantua, is a large complex of buildings located in Mantua, Lombardy, Italy. Originally built in the 14th century, the palace underwent numerous expansions and renovations over the centuries and today is a major tourist attraction and UNESCO World Heritage Site.

The palace was the residence of the Gonzaga family, rulers of Mantua for over 400 years, and served as a center of culture and politics in Renaissance Italy. The palace complex includes numerous buildings, courtyards, and gardens, all of which showcase different architectural styles and artistic influences.

One of the most impressive features of the palace is the Camera degli Sposi, or Chamber of the Newlyweds, a room decorated with frescoes by Andrea Mantegna. The frescoes depict members of the Gonzaga family and their court, as well as scenes of daily life in Renaissance Mantua.

Other notable features of the palace include the Sala degli Arcieri, or Archers' Hall, a vast hall decorated with frescoes and tapestries, and the Ducal Gardens, a vast landscaped garden that includes fountains, statues, and an artificial lake.
