Experiences
Palace
Ajutamicristo
The palace is named after Guglielmo Ajutamicristo, a banker of Pisan origin, who had it built for his family between 1495 and 1501. He entrusted the project to the renowned architect Matteo Carnilivari, who was already the creator of Palazzo Abatellis.
Palace Alliata
di Pietratagliata
Around the second half of the 15th century, Antonio Termine, a powerful aristocrat, established his residence on Via Bandiera, promoting the construction of an imposing crenellated palace with a tall tower. The main facade is softened by an inner courtyard.
Lanza Tomasi
di Lampedusa
It was built by the Branciforte family in the second half of the 17th century on the Spanish military casemates located behind the 16th-century city walls. In 1728, it was leased to the Theatines, who transformed it into the Collegio Imperiale for the education of the nobility.
Palace Gangi
Valguarnera
Its history begins around the mid-15th century, but it only becomes a palace between 1749 and 1759, when Pietro and Marianna Valguarnera, princes of Gangi, surrounded themselves with renowned Sicilian artists and transformed it into a refined and vibrant place.
Palace Beneventano
del Bosco
The ancient medieval palace, purchased by the Beneventano family in 1778, was renovated by Luciano Alì between 1779 and 1788. Notable features of its majestic facade include the medieval masonry with small blocks, especially in the lower section, and the central body.
