Eighteenth-century noble building built by the will of Giovanni De Lieto in 1734 to house the first hospital of Maratea.
During the 19th century the hospital of Maratea was declared a district and in the following century it moved to the former convent of the Paolotti. The building abandoned in the 90s of the twentieth century has been restored and today is owned by the Ministry of Cultural Heritage and is used for cultural activities. Located in the ancient village of Maratea, the palace rests on a large rocky spur. It has two floors and is equipped with large halls.
The high floor has long loggias, interspersed with arches with worked piers. It preserves the original lithic portal. This is presented with a large wooden door, supported by stone and tuff architraves. The piers and arches are made of square stones, and on the keystone there is the aralda of the De Lieto family. Above the tympanum there is a plaque with the inscription: Hospital built, at his own expense, by Giovanni De Lieto, in the year 1734. Oronzo, of the same family, wanted to remind the hindquarters with this plaque). Inside it houses a permanent collection of finds recovered from the bottom of the islet of Santo Janni.
On the first floor is the Pinacoteca Angelo Brando [Maratea, 1878 – Naples, 1955].
