The Palazzo Hotel, also known as Rocca Hotel, there is like a fortress, historic building in Siena, which today houses the office of one of the oldest Italian banks Monte dei Paschi di Siena".

The three-storey Palace was built in the 14th century, probably on the foundations existed in 12-13-th centuries other buildings. In the 19th century it was rebuilt in neo-Gothic style and decorated with some details like notched loopholes, blind arches and triple arched Windows, which architects inspired another medieval building - the Palazzo Pubblico. Later, in the 20th century, on the reconstruction of the building worked as an architect Pierluigi Spadolini, which the Bank's management has instructed to update the look of their historic residence. He gave his traits of Sienese Gothic. The middle floor is decorated with wonderful Windows topped by pointed arches with the coats of arms of noble families of the city.

The Palazzo Hotel, located in the historical center of Siena and is prominent from a distance, overlooking a small Piazza Palio, which is a monument of Italian religious figure, policy and economist Sallustio Bandini, dated 1882. The area runs along the famous street of via Banks di Sopra, which, incidentally, is the only access to Piazza Palio. There are not less magnificent ancient palaces – the Palazzo Cantucci (mid 16th century) and a Renaissance Palazzo Spannocchi (1470 year), designed by Giuliano da Maiano. All three of the Palace in the 19th century were restored by the architect Giuseppe Partini, which gave the whole Piazza Palio its modern look.
