Pavona Asquini Palace

Palazzo Pavona Asquini is the third palace for those coming from Porta Manin, the medieval gate of the city. It was built at the foot of the castle as a fiefdom for its residence.

The Palace consists of an organism with two main bodies connected to each other to form an internal courtyard and a first rectangular garden enclosed between the facade of the second body and one of its wings that opens onto a series of five steps going up the castle hill.

The entire property was purchased by the illustrious agronomist Fabio Asquini in 1770 from the noble Milanese Pavona family.

The facade of the Palace obeys a composition of seven architectural parts, of which the central one is the most important and consists of a large ashlar arch with access to the courtyard, on which two stone pillars are superimposed, enclosed by a large protruding frame. The central arched window of the main floor rests on the architrave.
