Overlooking the Piazza del Popolo, are kept within the original eighteenth-century furnishings of fine workmanship. Of particular impact those that adorn the so-called Hall of Mirrors.

Building constructed immediately behind the town, that had a troubled genesis, in the course of the century necessary for its realization, its appearance has changed several times. The building plan is roughly pentagonal, is characterized by five towers that identify immediately the military character of the complex, used, later, as a prison until 1969.
