The Palazzo Orsini, also known as Reggia Orsini, is a 15th-century palace located on Piazza Giordano Bruno in Nola, Italy. It houses the city's courthouse.
The palace was built in 1461 by Orso Orsini. Originally serving as the residence of the counts Orsini, it has undergone various transformations over the centuries. In 1559, it became property of the Jesuits. Later, it was used for military purposes and served as the headquarters of the Military District from 1860.[1][2]
