Palazzo Nesci (early 18th century) is located in the centre of the village in the main square. It was considerably damaged by the 1783 earthquake but was later fully restored. The palace, built with two L-shaped bodies, is on two floors and has a square plan with a central courtyard. The entire façade is articulated, according to laws of symmetry, with the use of mixed-face masonry with the insertion of large square stone ashlars. On either side of the round-arched portal, two pilasters support an entablature on which the Nesci family coat of arms is placed. Towards the end of the 19th century, a side vault was built connecting the upper floor of the palace with a terrace on a rock spur, with a beautiful panoramic view of the sea.
