In the early 18th century, a building on the site, was originally commissioned by the Jesuit order to house a school and college. In 1773, when the Jesuits were suppressed in the Duchy, the palace became property of the Canons Regular from the parish of Santissimi Salvatore, and still was used as a school.^[1]
