Between the sixteenth and eighteenth centuries the Royal Madames of Savoy choose it as their own residence and in the nineteenth century Carlo Alberto places the first Senate of the Kingdom of Italy there. Since 1934 the palace has housed the ancient art collections of the Civic Museum.
Translation · original in Italian
Il palazzo riassume in sé tutta la storia della città: da porta romana si trasforma nel medioevo in fortezza e poi in castello dei principi d'Acaja. Tra Sei e Settecento le Madame Reali di Savoia lo scelgono come propria residenza e nell'Ottocento Carlo Alberto vi colloca il primo Senato del Regno d'Italia. Dal 1934 il palazzo ospita le collezioni di arte antica del Museo Civico.
