The palace was built at the beginning of the seventeenth century by the noble Domenico Rubini and is part of the so-called "case palaziate", which were residences of noble families. The large external loggia, in ashlar, is richly decorated with floral elements and with the heraldic coats of arms of the Rubini and Caputi families.
