The house of the rector was located on the west of the
fortress central plateau, opposite from the Mosque. It was built between the
years 1575 - 1582 and was opened by the rector Anzolo Barocci.
According to Venetian documents and references, it was a majestic building with 49 doors, 81 windows, 2 stairways and balconies. Unfortunately, only a small part of the prisons constructed by Barocci next to the house is preserved today.
This part consists of a oblong space covered by a semi-circular arch, while on its east side two oblong openings are preserved, along with a circular skylight on the north side.

A second smaller space is preserved on the south, also covered by a semicircular arch and a large arced opening on its west side, where the building's entrance is today. The building is restored by the 28th Byzantine Antiquities Conservancy and is destined to host the museum of fortress architecture.
