History
Architecture of the 17th and 18th centuries arising from a reconstruction based on a medieval foundation (14th century). Of the primitive building only the upper storey remains. The medieval rooms are preserved, including a room called the "papal chamber" with a painted ceiling. The 17th-century reconstruction includes a few rooms decorated in the late 18th century.
