was built in the 13th century by Frederick II of Swabia. The mansion had a certain visibility in the course of Sicilian Vespers, as the seat of Parliament and later residence of the Aragonese rulers, including Frederick III. Today it is the seat of the Municipal Museum of the city of Etna, which consists mainly of the collections of the Biscari and the Benedictines.
