The palace of prisons is located near the main gate of Prossedi and dates from 1807 as the court with the prison in the basement areas.
It was commissioned to the architect Francesco Rust by Prince Pietro Gabrielli.
The building has an irregular shape to fit into the medieval fabric and has five different facades with windows that give harmony and regularity.
The building has four floors each with its own architectural style: the base is covered with rough finished limestone blocks with three large portals.
The second floor is made with bricks, the third with squared and shaped limestone blocks and the last floor of small uncoated bricks, each level being separated by an elegant stone strip.
Today the building is both a residence and post office.
