Palazzo Priamàr is located in the center of Savona near the port and is an imposing military fortress that dominates the city. This position was already exploited in antiquity during the Bronze and Iron Ages, passing through the Greeks and Romans. The current fortress was built between 1542 and 1544 as a strategic and defensive place over the city. The name derives, according to some scholars, from "pria a 'mà" that is stone on the sea from the Ligurian language. Today the Palace is a citadel dedicated to art and culture. Inside, the Palace houses various collections: archeology, modern and contemporary paintings and sculptures and a venue for workshops, artistic performances, reviews and an open-air theater. In particular, the Palazzo degli Officiali houses the Civic Archaeological Museum and the "Sandro Pertini and Renata Cuneo" Museum; the Palazzo del Commissario is used as a venue for exhibitions, workshops and artistic performances as well as the evocative environment of the Cellette. The Palazzo della Sibilla, equipped with cutting-edge technologies, has become a Congress Center of international importance. In the Piazzale del Maschio an outdoor theater is set up every summer with over 600 numbered seats, for a program full of events.
