Imposing and refined, Mesiani Palace is one of Bova’s most representative historic buildings, located near the village’s ancient defensive structures along the main road leading to the Isodia Co-Cathedral. Dating from the late 18th century, the palace is distinguished by its harmonious proportions and the architectural quality of its facade, designed according to strict rules of symmetry.<\/p>\n
The main fa\u00e7ade, in mixed-face masonry, is defined by two angular pilasters and embellished by a string-course cornice and an upper cornice within which windows and balconies are elegantly inserted. The entrance portal, in carved light-colored stone, is a fine example of the late Renaissance style: a round arch flanked by pilasters with entablature, emphasizing its monumentality.<\/p>\n
Completely restored between 1997 and 1998 thanks to CIPE funds, today Mesiani Palace has a new, prestigious function: it is home to the Aspromonte Geopark Museum<\/strong>, included in the UNESCO World Geoparks network. Its cultural destination makes it a reference point for the enhancement of the territory and the extraordinary geodiversity of Aspromonte, offering exhibition spaces and popular initiatives within an architectural context of great historical and symbolic value.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Mesiani Palace, an elegant 18th-century building in the village of Bova, now houses the UNESCO Aspromonte Geopark Museum.
