 Palazzo Chiaramonte-Steri is a historical palace in Palermo, Sicily, southern Italy.

The building was begun in the early 14th century, and was the residence of the powerful Sicilian lord Manfredi III Chiaramonte. He commissioned the decoration of the Sala Magna ("Grand Hall"), with a painted wooden ceiling by Cecco di Naro, Simone da Corleone and Pellegrino Darena. From the late 15th century to 1517 it housed the Aragonese-Spanish viceroys of Sicily; later it was home to the Royal Customs and, from 1600 to 1782, the tribunal of the Holy Inquisition.

The palace was restored in the 20th century, eliminating numerous elements associated with its role as a jail of the Inquisition. Original graffiti from when the complex was used as a prison and torture center for the Inquisition under Aragon domination is preserved. The palace is now a museum; among the artworks, it houses Renato Guttuso's "La Vucciria".

The activities of September 16-18 and the conference presentations will be held at the Rectorate of the University of Palermo, Palazzo Chiaramonte. The welcome drinks reception will take place at the conference venue.
