Palace Beneventano

Palace Beneventano is one of the finest expressions of Sicilian Baroque, located on Via Duca D’Aosta in Scicli, in the heart of the historic center. Built in the 18th century, the palace stands out for the extraordinary artistic quality of its façade, adorned with grotesque masks, sculpted corbels, allegorical figures, and curved wrought-iron balconies. This combination of elements creates a dramatic visual effect that blends symbolism, irony, and fantasy in a unique synthesis. Cited by scholars and art historians as one of the most significant examples of Iblean Baroque, the palace is not currently open to the public but continues to attract visitors, photographers, and enthusiasts for its exceptional beauty. It is considered one of the symbolic monuments of Scicli and a noteworthy piece of international architectural heritage.
