Dimora del Prete a Venafro

Molise

The dimora Del Prete of Belmonte rises in the historical center of the city of Venafro on the small square of Christ, next to the church of the same name. The palace, in the form that appears to us today, although it was built in 1860, on the eve of the Unification of Italy, sees its main front aligned with one of the cardi of the Roman city, so that its facade repeats the limit of an insula of the ancient Venafrum.
