description In our present paper we have attempted to recreate the image of the palace erected by prince Alexander Ipsilanti (1774-1782) on the Spirea Hill nearby the capital, resorting to the available written sources (mainly testimonies of the foreign travellers) and the results of the archaeological excavations carried out between 1978 and 1981. We have also followed the turbulent history of the princely residence severely damaged by two great fires in 1789 and 1812 and one earthquake in 1802, showing interest in the restoration works realised during the reign of Constantine Hangerli (1797-1799) and Constantine Ipsilanti (1802-1806). Finally, we have related some memorable episodes hosted in the court, such as the great banquet offered in 1798 in honour of the commander of the Ottoman fleet Küçük Husein and the ferocious murder of prince Hangerli, one year later.
