Palazzo Crisafulli was a large palace located near the City Gate. Today the palace has been entirely rebuilt.
The papazzo belonged to the Crisafulli family, a Sicilian noble family already present in the city of Savoca in the fifteenth century and related for centuries to the illustrious Trimarchi, Prestipino, Nicòtina, Trischitta, Salvadore, Cacòpardo and Scarcella families . Some members of the family practiced the profession of apothecary, others of notary; in addition to this important palace, they owned vast land properties on the hills and on the marina, where the town of Santa Teresa di Riva stands today. The importance of this family is testified by a burial present inside the Church of San Michele in Savoca.
