Recently restored and now used as a multi-purpose cultural centre, it is named after Cesare De Laugier, a Napoleonic officer whose mother came from Portoferraio, who served heroically at Curtatone and Montanara
This is an impressive Sixteenth Century complex which stands in the historic 511 centre of Portoferraio and was originally built to accommodate the Knights of the Order of Saint Stephen.
After the Order moved to Pisa, the building underwent various transformations, and from a Franciscan priory it was subsequently converted into a barracks in the early Nineteenth Century. Recently restored and now used as a multi-purpose cultural centre, it is named after Cesare De Laugier, a Napoleonic officer whose mother came from Portoferraio, who served heroically at Curtatone and Montanara.
The building also houses the Municipal HistoryArchive.
