Palazzo Pastore (Alcamo)

Palazzo Pastore is a civil building located in Alcamo, in the province of Trapani.

It is one of the best-known and most beautiful palaces in Alcamo; in neoclassical style, it was built at the end of the 18th century by the baron Nicolò Pastore, the first baron of Rincione[1] and the father of the more famous Felice Pastore, politician and benefactor.

The building has three floors and three internal courts, one of them very large; the façade has some structural parts similar to those of the Mother Church and other palaces.

The entrance leading to the two stairs is imposing: on the northern side there are eight columns made with red marble and a ceiling with ribs, with four round arches leading to the two stairs and to the main court.

[1] On the northern wall of the staircase there is a plaque which commemorates the stay of His Majesty Ferdinand I of the Two Sicilies in 1799.
