The building is located in an excellent position, between Palazzo Tursi and Palazzo Albini (Headquarters of the Municipality), Palazzo Bianco and Palazzo Rosso (Headquarters of the Musei di Strada Nuova). This 19th-century building consists of six floors and is exposed on four sides. On all floors, the plan of the building is identical. The stairs are located in the centre of the building (the lift located outside the perimeter of the building) and the main facade faces the south.

It currently hosts the offices of the Municipality and is therefore connected to Palazzo Albini and Palazzo Tursi via a pedestrian route, which is the main entrance to the building. The only independent access is that facing the pedestrian street of S. Francesco, located on the west side, by the main entrance of the elementary school “Daneo” (the school and the building share the same garden, located on the north side of Palazzo Galliera).

The condition is relatively good excluding some cover leaks; the main issues concern the facades and windows of the building: they may require a more consistent intervention. The perimeter of the external appurtenances is not easy to resolve, especially on the south front (a large terrace, partly paved and partly green, overlooking Palazzo Banco and Palazzo Tursi, currently excluded from the portfolio).
