The Mary-Antony Medieval Palace is a beautiful gothic revival castle-house. Is inspired by north italian castles, venetian palaces and other gothic revival castles. This is neither a defensive castle nor a common villa, so it's a palace. The building is made of bricks and stone. The palace has a main body and two towers. The main part of the building is at ground floor :a big square shaped room with many decorated doublr lancet gothic windows to light it and the main door. Near the main body there's the little tower ( 2 floors): the ground floor has segmental arched windows and the first floor has gothic windows. The big tower is 4 floors high: the ground floor has three doors and segmental arched windows, the first floor has single gothic windows, the second floor has double lancet gothic windows, the third floor is an open square gothic loggia with a curved roof and 4 little decorative towers. The big tower and the main body are connected by an external staircase. All the stone windows are in venetian gothic stile; they arecomposed of a trefoil arch inside a pointed arch. There are battlements on most of the exterlal walls; on the big tower there are machicolations, caratteristic of italian castles. Another wall, with 4 round arches and a big opening for the car, connects the big tower and the little tower. All these parts of the building enclose a square courtyard that is like a typical venetian campiello with a medieval well in its centre.
i hope you will enjoy it.
