History
[edit | edit source]
The palace was designed by the architect Nicolò Palma, and built between 1766 and 1781, commissioned by Michele Gravina Cruillas, prince of Comitini. The interiors are rich with late-baroque or neoclassical decoration. The main salon, the so-called "Sala Martorana", was frescoed with a Triumph of True Love by Gioacchino Martorana.
