Ducal Palace of Atina

The Duke of Alvito, Rostaino Cantelmo, decided to build the fortress-like palace in the highest point in the town.

In the early 1900s, the palace housed a theatre and hall for meeting, modified by Giuseppe Visocchi.

Above the entrance is an Ancient Roman spolia, poorly conserved, of a low relief depicting a votive offering, dating to the first Imperial period.

The mosaics depict armed Samnite warriors set between panels of geometrical designs.

The palace now serves as the Town Hall, the Register Office, and a display on the archeology of the region.
