Beneroso Palace
Text size
Nowadays, it is seat for a University Residence Hall: Saint Bartolome.
The façade was performed in the eighteenth century and has a semicircular opening, framed with paired Doric columns which support an entablature with a niche and columns, which houses the college saints. It is surmounted by divided pediment within which we find a nobility crest.
From the hallway you access the main courtyard portico on its four bays. It has elliptical arches with mutilations in the key and Beneroso crest in the spandrels. These arches are supported on Tuscan columns. In one of the galleries, there is a stone fountain with three spouts. It is surmounted by a divided pediment.
The upper floor is quite similar, but with a balustrade and gargoyles at the corners. The staircase accessing this floor is covered by a cupola.
