Palace Benevento
In via Duca D'Aosta. It was defined by Sir Anthony Blunt as the most beautiful Baroque palace in Sicily, ("of a pale yellow-gold color that acquires an indescribable opulence in the sun"). The Palace has an angle setting on two fronts that adapt to the conformation of the sloping ground. The two facades are linked by a mighty baroque cantonal. On top of this stands the crowned coat of arms of the Benevento family decorated with two Moorish heads. The balconies are characterized by shelves enriched by beautiful masks considered among the most characteristic of the Iblean baroque.
