Palazzo Guerrieri is an eighteenth-century palazzo that for years housed council offices. It stands out for the portal framed by two columns supporting the first-floor balcony, and for its coat of arms split in two: on the left that of the Massa family, a dog with its paw on a band, on the right that of the De Leo family, a rampant lion on three rocks holding a "y".
During restoration, an archaeological area from Roman and medieval times came to light beneath the palazzo. Today it is an urban innovation lab, working on tourism, technology and culture projects for the city.
