A Renaissance palazzo on Largo San Giovanni Maggiore, once home to the Great Captain; now a university building.

On Largo San Giovanni Maggiore, opposite the Pappacoda Chapel, Palazzo Giusso stands where in the 16th century there was a noble house with a citrus grove overlooking the sea, which then reached as far as today's Corso Umberto. Gonzalo Fernández de Córdoba, the Great Captain, lived here.The Renaissance palazzo is now a university building, with a library on the piano nobile. From the square there is a fine view of the Basilica of San Giovanni Maggiore.
