Sortino Throne Palace
The Sortino Trono Palace is located on a hill, immediately behind the church of the SS Anime del Purgatorio. It can be accessed from Via del Mercato, after a few stairs you arrive at a space in front of the entrance called "Piano dei Signori". It is also possible to reach the palace from Via Ioppolo, a small street that can be reached from the clock face.
The Palace was built between 1778 and 1793[1], the facade has five pilasters ending with capitals containing festoons of flowers that draw four sectors on the facade, each characterized by a balcony. An unusual feature is the entrance located to the right of the facade and therefore asymmetrical. The entrance portal, preceded by a short staircase, has two semi-pillars on the sides culminating with composite capitals that support a balcony with goose-breasted railings.
