The palace-castle, in the actual pentagonal shape, rises on the spur of rock that dominates the valley of the town of Pescolanciano (IS). The original sixteenth-century structure was, at the arrival of the barony of d'Alessandro, formed by several disjointed fortresses, with a small church and a cylindrical tower, as well as an embattled fortress, surrounded by walls. The works of enlargement and unification of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, performed by the d'Alessandro, gave the fortress a more definitive conformation of manor placed in defense of the territory and difficult to conquer, given its windows to mouth of fire (still visible on the side slope and walkway) and the drawbridge or the stone to defend the main entrance.

The Kursaal Santalucia building complex in Bari is a true venue for art and culture, in Art Nouveau style and embellished by the Sala Cielo (Heaven Room) by artist Alfredo Pirri.
