Built by the Ruspoli family at the end of the 14th century and at the turn of the 18th. It comprises a large factory of three floors, with an area elevated in the guise of a tower.

The ground floor has a vault ceiling and a large entrance which allowed carriages with loads and grain to arrive up to the top floor.

This was used as a deposit for grain received in payment from the tenants of the lower floor.
