Visited in Casa Rocca Piccola on 74 Republic Street.
This magnificent 16th century palace is the private home of the 9th Marquis de Piro. The beautiful rooms contain esquisite furniture, paintings, silver and hundreds of other items. Beneath the palace there are the 2nd World War air raid shelters.
The entrance fee with a guided tour €7,00
Absolutely worth visiting!
