The Palazzo Ducale of Villa Castelli houses the Civic Museum on the ground floor, featuring a rich collection of artifacts from archaeological excavations in the Magno-Greek necropolis of Pezza Petrosa, dating from the 5th to the 4th century BC.\n\nOpened in 2009 following the restoration of the architectural complex, the museum is enhanced by the medieval tower and the municipal art gallery. The southern facade preserves the ancient keep, now serving as the Council Chamber.\n\nThe first floor has facades with strictly vertical surfaces, lightened by windows. The grand staircase leads to the balcony on the upper floor, where windows and doors are adorned with cornices crafted in the 20th century in a Renaissance style.
