Palace of the Princes of Villadorata

The palace was built around 1750 on the initiative of Baron Bernardo Calascibetta and stands on the west side of Piazza Regina Margherita, opposite the old fishermen’s dwellings.
The building has a simple facade and an arched entrance portal.
On the lower floor are warehouses that were used for storing goods and sheltering equipment functional to the tuna fishery. Through an open space, connected to the Loggia degli Scieri, access is possible to the upper floor, used as the owners’ residence. In the mid-19th century the building was acquired by the Nicolaci family of the Princes of Villadorata.
