Located between Via San Martino and Vicolo del Moro, Cevoli Palace was built in the fourteenth century by combining three buildings of the twelfth or thirteenth century, already separated from little lanes. These were the homes of the Della Gherardesca, earls of Donoratico, the family of the famous Earl Ugolino. The Cevoli (or Ceuli) family coming from the village of Cevoli in the Pisan hills became the owner of the palace in the eighteenth century.
The large facade on Via San Martino presents fragments, more or less well preserved, of the nine pillars which were the basis of the medieval buildings on which they unloaded the arches that supported the floors. Between pillar and pillar, at regular intervals, were collected eighteenth-century windows, cornices embellished with stone.
Inside a fragment of a fresco with two heads of saints dating from the fourteenth century was found.
