Description

The complex, commissioned by Francesco IV as the Albergo dei Poveri (almshouse), soon began to be used as a place of detention. Today, it retains some traces of the original 19th-century construction, although the interesting panopticon chapel, designed by Cesare Costa, has been demolished.
