This is a vast square building which has preserved on its facade its medieval appearance with a crenelated roof ridge, a machicolated forepart and an austere loggia set on two uneven arches. Behind this the building was converted in the 16C and there is a courtyard adorned with an armorial well, flanked by a wing of arcades resting on Ionic columns, as well as a finely sculptured Renaissance doorway.
