Their institution in Spain dates back to medieval times (1200), and their task was to collect offerings for the ransom of Christian slaves from their Muslim masters. It was built in the early 1700s and is characterised by a long side fa\u00e7ade in two orders, with an entrance portal which can be reached by a flight of steps (Fig. b). The portal consists of two ashlar pilasters supporting a trabeation on which rests a balcony with an iron railing <em>in the shape of a goose chest<\/em> (Fig. c) and a large window bordered by two moulded cornices and a decorated architrave. With the Unification of Italy, following the \u201ceversive laws\u201d, it was confiscated and handed over to the municipality of Modica.<br \/><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The main entrance leads to an atrium from which two lateral corridors and the staircase leading to the upper floor branch off. Paving in \u201c<em>pietra pece<\/em>\u201d with limestone inserts was carried out around 2010. (Fig d). On the first floor, there are rooms along the corridors, once monks&#8217; quarters, now used for exhibitions (Fig. e). Inside, the palace<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">also houses a museum of popular arts and traditions with reconstructions of workshops (Fig. f).<\/span><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-48e51f7 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con\" data-id=\"48e51f7\"
