Description

Renaissance style building with a staircase dating from the 15th century. The facade which overlooks the garden is the most notable. It is rectangular in shape and in the center is an octagonal tower with a small bell tower. A protruding turret provides access to the tower platform. On the staircase tower, the windows are in full arc, surrounded by columns supported by consoles and surmounted by pediments. The door is also in a semicircular arc, flanked by Doric columns and an entablature which carries a carved plate. The windows on the ground floor were altered in the 18th century. On the first floor, the windows which overlook the street and the garden are of Renaissance style, framed by fluted pilasters, and have mines with crosspieces supported by fine columns.
