This 16th century building for a long time housed the Inquisition prisons and then the Royal Court. It collects several graffiti, living proof of the dark and terrible time of Inquisition, thanks to the meticulous work of the Palermitan ethnologist Giuseppe Pitrè, that brought them to light at the beginning of the 20th century.
