Bandinelli Palace

Bandinelli Palace (

kamienica) facing Market Square in Lviv, Ukraine. It was built in 1589 by a pharmacist Jarosz Wedelski, and in 1634 it was bought by a Florentine merchant, Roberto Bandinelli, known as the founder of the first post office in eastern Galicia
. That office was housed in the building from 1629 onward, and was closed in a few years when the business became unprofitable.

During the Thirty Years' War (1618–1648), a mint operated in the courtyard of the tenement house, which was moved from Kraków during the war.[1]

The house was considerably renovated in 1737-1739. In the 19th century the palace was used as a

literati. Poet Kornel Ujejski lodged here. The Soviet authorities gave the house to the Lviv Historical Museum [uk
] which had the building thoroughly repaired and restored.
