Palazzo Pavignano also Palazzo Facta
A NOBLE RESIDENCE

Palazzo Facta - Arcade Palazzo Facta - A postcard from the beginning of the twentieth century

The building is articulated around an interior courtyard and looks out onto a large area, which was originally designed for use as a garden (16th century) looking onto the Castle.

The main entrance originally looked out onto Via Marconi and the beautiful baroque façade of the Church of Santa Marta.

The building is spread over three floors, the ground floor of which is porticoed is covered by cross vaults.

The turning of the entrance towards the Castle and onto the open space of the garden, alongside the new Parish church, was the logical consequence of the profound transformation enacted in the Castle-square-porticoed street connection, which came about during the second half of the eighteenth century when the perspective of the entire complex was changed with the work of Ignazio Birago di Borgaro upon appointment by the Duke of Chiablese, Benedetto Maria Maurizio.

The interior façade of the building, with a large open gallery, is a spectacular backdrop to the square in the view from the Castle in the succession Gallery – Church – Palace.

The Palace was built almost entirely during the mid seventeenth century, with a residential function associated with the aristocracy near Filippo San Martino di San Germano. It found itself occupying a position on the new square, seeing its courtly role strengthened.

During the mid eighteenth century the palace "with portico, garden and stable" was the property of "The Count of Pavignano".

It is currently State Property.
