PLACE:
Walking along the Corso Reginna, you reach the Palazzo Mezzacapo.
Here, at the beginning of Via Casale dei Cicerali, there’s the Chapel dedicated to San Nicola.
It’s part of the Citarella Palace, which has the main façade and the entrance door on the Corso Reginna.
CONSTRUCTION:
As the tombstone outside the Chapel also reports, it was built in the fourteenth century.
HISTORY:
The Tombstone, inside the Little Church, recalls that the building -of which it’s part- was founded by the Francone family in 1362.
In 1525, the Palace and Chapel became property of the Citarella family.
The coat of arms of the Citarella family, of colored stucco, is on the entrance door.

Inside, the Latin Tombstone, from the second half of 1700, also recalls that the three brothers Citarella -Tiberio, Giuseppe and Pietro- restored, by their own money, both the palace and the Little Church erected by Giovanni Francone in 1362.
