    Registered as a UNESCO World Heritage Site as a "masterpiece of the human creative genius of the late Baroque age" and defined by the art historian Anthony Blunt as "one of the most significant and original eighteenth-century baroque monuments in the province of Ragusa", Palazzo Beneventano it is the most representative baroque building in the city and among the most celebrated examples of "fantastic decoration". Pompous and refined at the same time, it has no main facade. Built on a corner, its central element is a corner with ashlar and diamond-cut pilasters which links two elegant facades decorated with masks, sculpted portals and balconies supported by brackets with grotesque figures. Above, under the cornice, the Beneventano coat of arms supported by two dark brown heads.
