Palazzo dell Arpa - Sambuca di Sicilia

Palazzo dell'Arpa is the town hall of Sambuca di Sicilia.

The palace was built in the seventeenth century by the Oddo family on the site of the old door that led to the city fortress of Zabut. Later it was given to the Jury of Time so that it could become the town hall. It was restored in the late 1960s and is now owned by the municipality.

The facade of the town hall is characterized by a double triumphal arch surmounted by three elegant balconies. Between the two arches rises a sumptuous portal with a quadrangular section enclosed by a relief frame. Today there is a clock on the intermediate level, but in 1938 Benito Mussolini had a plaque placed to commemorate his glory.

Inside there are modern works of art signed by local citizens .
