Governor's Palace in Pietraperzia
The Governor's Palace in Pietraperzia is one of the most important civil buildings in the village.
The date of construction of the building is not known, much less the architect, but it is believed to be the work of local workers.The palace it is called of the Governor because the Captain of Justice, the Governor and other notables sat in this building to look after the interests of the people and the prince.
The monumental palace, which stands in the oldest nucleus of the village, is in Renaissance style and despite its state of decay it is still possible to admire the huge corner balcony supported by fifteen sandstone corbels where allegorical figures are sculpted converging towards the centre. Two portals open onto the balcony with anthropomorphic sculptures and foliage. It has a fifteenth-century entrance portal.
You enter into a large entrance hall which was made up of columns which can still be admired in the walls today. An elegant staircase leads to the main floor; in correspondence with the second ramp it opens to a small courtyard through graceful columns.
Leaving the Governor's Palace, on the right, you can still observe the remains of an arch which is believed to be the enclosure gate of the medieval walls of the castle.< /p>
