The palace, entirely in terracotta surmounted by Ghibelline merlons, was built at the end of the 13th century by Pinamonte dei Bonacolsi who made it the home of his powerful family. The Bonacolsi family ruled Mantua during the 13th century until, on 16 August 1328, the last Bonacolsi, Rinaldo, was overthrown in a revolt supported by Luigi Gonzaga, who seized power.
