S. Anna Le Stanzie
POI / Palaces and monuments, Castles and fortresses, Landscape and nature
In the countryside of Villarosa, along an ancient Trazzera, stands a seventeenth-century aristocratic palace whose forms seem completely antithetical to its rural position. The palace, known as Palazzo Ducale di S. Anna alle Stanzie, is what remains of an unsuccessful attempt at feudal foundation. Private, the building is used as a farmhouse and can be partially visited by asking the current owners. In the appurtenances, there is the ruined chapel of Sant'Anna and some vast underground rooms that can probably be interpreted as large grain silos.
Rules of visit
Ask the owner's family for access to the building.
How to reach S. Anna Le Stanzie
