Were the people of Alviano around the XVI century and definitely the Farnesi then, to build and expand the Palace Baronale which, with the years, included the pentagonal tower.
The palace reached four floors of height: in the ground floor, the cellar, the pantry, the stable and the cistern; the second floor the service rooms; in the third floor the noble floor; in the fourth floor of the servants.
The palace was shot down in 1964 for reasons connected to the instability of the palace, due to the slipping of the ground downstream, and for the bold modifications made between the XIX century and the beginning of XX century, which took off the stability of the total structure.
In the same place where the palace was stands there is a beautiful square where you can sit between the benches, and admire the sublime scenery and think of the ancient glories of this inestimable place.
