The Palazzo Bourbon del Monte is also located in Piazza del Pretorio, located between the Church of San Mamiliano and the Church of Santa Maria Maggiore. Its construction dates back to 1500, designed by the architect Vignola. It is a very simple construction in structure, characterized by the presence of cross vaults and an elegant portico, through which you access the garden.

The palace was the residence of the bishop of the Bourbon family, over the centuries its function changed many times, until it became the seat of public offices and a school.

Following a partial collapse, which occurred in the early sixties, the building was restored, also following the purchase of the building by the prof. Luciano Ventura occurred in 1968.
