Baronial Palace

The construction of the castle — which was later transformed into the Gallotti-De Stefano Baronial Palace during the 15th century — dates back to the 14th century, specifically to the period when the historic center was fortified.

The stately palace stands in the heart of the town; it features a central courtyard and, on the upper floor, a charming portico flanked by rooms that still retain their original furnishings, including wooden ceilings and frescoes. In the courtyard, accessed through a portal dated 1708, visitors can admire a private noble chapel, recently restored and dedicated to Our Lady of Grace, which houses a wooden statue dating back to the 17th century.

The 14th-century building has dominated Piazza Piano La Porta — Morigerati’s central square — since the 15th century. Its stones tell the story of the lives and history of the noble families who lived there. In the castle’s most beautiful wing — whose door remains open to this day — Clorinda and Modestina Florenzano once lived: the two local teachers to whom we owe the founding of the Ethnographic Museum of Peasant Culture.
