Palazzo dei Principi Natoli
The Palazzo dei Principi Natoli ( French Palais Princier de Natoli ), also known as the Palazzo Vigo , is a Baroque palace in Torre Archirafi near Riposto in Sicily. It was built in the 18th century as the official residence for the Princes of Natoli .
Francesco Natoli had acquired the land in Torre Archirafi around 1720 and ordered the construction of a palace as his princely residence. Giovanni II. Natoli Ruffo, Prince of Sperlinga , who was led by Charles III. had been appointed Duke of Archirafi by Spain , had a small chapel built next to the palazzo in 1743.
At the turn of the 20th century, the palazzo and the lands belonged to the Vigo di Gallodoro family . Today the palace is used as a venue for the municipality of Riposto.
