Palazzo Ghilini is an elegant palace in Piedmontese Baroque style of the city of Alessandria, one of the most monumental in its historic centre. It is the greatest Alexandrian monument “perhaps the most convincing city palace in the eighteenth century in Italy” (C. Norberg – Schulz, Late Baroque Architecture, Milan 1980, p. 137).
In 1869 the Provincial Council of Alexandria obtained the palace for the offices of the Province and Prefecture.
