Marchesale Palace

The ancient marquis's palace was built behind the new parish church erected by the first marquis of Pietracatella, Giovanni Francesco Ceva Grimaldi, in order to have a stable plant in the village and to avoid spending freezing winters in the ancient castle that stood in the upper part of the village. The palace, built in the last decade of the 16th century, also featured a private chapel dedicated to St Nicholas of Bari.
