History and description
Although the building was originally conceived in the 15th century, there have been many alterations to the palace over its history, starting with the neoclassical façade: on the ground floor a stone portal with a round arch enclosed between two pilasters is surmounted by a balcony supported by a shelf scroll. On the main floor the windows are decorated with simple rectilinear mouldings, while on the second floor by simple cornices.
Inside the building, there are two courtyards, a minor one of trapezoidal shape and the square-shaped courtyard of honour dating back to the 16th century: the courtyard has a portico with granite columns and capitals with horse heads and sculpted coats of arms.[1][2]
