Palazzo Requisenz or Palazzo Requesens is the most important civil building in the city of Solarino.
It was built in 1758 at the behest of Don Giuseppe Antonio Requisenz, Prince of Pantelleria, Count of Buscemi and Baron of Solarino, and was used as a residence campaign of the masters of the Solarino feud.
