As it stood in 1650

The shape it held in its prime.

A low, rectangular three-storey masonry palace with pale plastered facades, regularly spaced rectangular windows and a pronounced cornice supported by corbels beneath the eaves; a small central raised belvedere with a crenellated parapet rises above the low-pitched terracotta roof. The building sits directly behind a formal Italian Renaissance garden: symmetric parterres of neatly clipped box hedges, gravel axial paths, potted citrus trees and a central stone fountain, flanked by tall plane and cypress trees.
