Within these ancient walls, time has left traces of lives, encounters, and stories spanning the centuries. Once a fortified castle and later a stately residence, the Palazzo has played host to noble families, descendants of valiant commanders, and illustrious churchmen. From the princely Castriota Scanderbeg family, who made their home here in the 15th century, to Gabriele Adarzo de Santander—the Archbishop of Otranto—who resided here in the 17th century, every era has helped write a chapter of its history. Its halls, stonework, and interiors still preserve the allure of a past defined by nobility, culture, and tradition. The Sanseverinos, the Spinolas, the Gallarati Scottis, and finally, the Mongiòs.
To inhabit this Palazzo today is to become part of a living history.
