History
From the 16th-century hotel survives the west façade with windows flanked by fluted pilasters, finished with composite capitals. Moulded bands emphasize the storeys. The ground floor of the south bay retains a small room with rib vault springing from ornamental corbels decorated with escutcheons. The two ground-floor windows of the north bay light a room whose fireplace is decorated with a hood supported by Renaissance pilasters and hollowed out with three niches separated by pilasters of the same style. The east façade and other apartments were remade in the 19th century.
