THE PALACE OF CULTURE

After the terrible earthquake of 1693, the remains of the former Monastery of San Placido and the oldest ones of the Platamone palace (already donated by the Platamone family to the Benedictines in the 15th century) were integrated for the construction of the current Palazzo della Cultura.

After several renovations, the only late medieval testimony of the building is represented by the loggia, which overlooks a small balcony that seems almost set in the background of the courtyard of the Monastery.

The rows of arches that line the rectangular plan seem to embrace the entire building.

In the center it is still possible to see the coat of arms of the Platamone family, which represents a mountain with three shells on top and a lily on top.

Today the Palazzo della Cultura is used as a venue for important cultural events, exhibitions and concerts.
