Palazzo Rocca

Palazzo Rocca, Historic palace in Alcamo, Italy.

Palazzo Rocca is a building in central Alcamo featuring a symmetrical facade with multiple floors and regularly spaced windows running across its exterior walls. The structure displays clear lines and balanced proportions that define its overall form and appearance.

Palazzo Rocca was built in 1629 by the nobleman Salvatore Rocca and completed by Vincenzo Rocca. Over time its rooms were altered, and frescoes, old tiles and stone portals were lost. Today part of it houses the clergy house of the Church of Saints Paul and Bartholomew and the Sant'Antonio orphanage, while other flats belong to families such as the Amodeo and Coraci.

The palace's name comes from the Rocca family: the nobleman Salvatore Rocca began it in 1629 and Vincenzo Rocca completed it. Today part of the building houses the clergy house of the Church of Saints Paul and Bartholomew and the Sant'Antonio orphanage, while other rooms serve as private flats, so the palace is still lived in rather than museum-like.

The main entrance opens into a large hall; on its left a corridor gate leads to the sacristy of the Church of Saints Paul and Bartholomew, and a door leads to the Sant'Antonio orphanage on the first and second floors. The garden, about 1,500 square metres, is reached through the gate on the northern side of the building.

The garden gate opens on the building's north side into about 1,500 square metres planted with palms, lemons, oranges and cedars of Lebanon. Two fountains stand there: one octagonal with an iron dome at its centre, the other round with small columns holding an iron dome.
