The powerful Chiaramente family constructed Palace Steri in 1307, not just as a place to live in luxury as they believed they deserved, but as a high point to yell at the commoners that “they are the ones who really matter”. With all due respect to the Chiaramonte family, the most interesting part of the palace’s story is between 1600 and 1782 when the Holy Inquisition set the palace as the official seat and chamber of horrors. The Palace became a point of a prison, setting up cells like little mouse cages. Here they would put the heretics, blasphemers, and which is to redeem them through a baptism of violence and torture. No one would make it out alive. Some of the prisoners refused to lose hope, and drew their desires and stories on the cages and walls using a mix of stool, urine, and other matter. The graffiti is still highly visible to this day.
