Palazzo Doria di Candela

The beautiful Palazzo dei Doria, a family that ruled Candela for 277 years, is located in the city center.

The place

The oldest and most important civic building in the country was built by Luca Basilico in 1607. The building is characterized by an elegant entrance with Renaissance loggia consisting of three round arches, resting on columns. From here through a portal, on the side of which is carved the coat of arms (the jar with flowers), you enter the interior. The coat of arms is repeated in the rooms, on the panels of the eighteenth-century wooden doors, on the doors of the chapel and on the altar. The building, privately owned, is on three floors, on which there are large rooms decorated with precious wooden ceilings in small tiles with rosettes and large recessed lacunari.
