Palazzo Shri Nirmala Devi

This 16th century building overlooks the village of Cabella Ligure. For over 600 years it has been owned by the Spinola, Doria and Pallavicini families, before being purchased by Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi in 1991. It is registered as a historical site and subject to protection by the Ministry of Artistic and Cultural Heritage. It was restored by Shri Mataji and under the auspices of this Ministry, restoration and maintenance are continuing. It was formally called the Palazzo Doria but is fondly called “the Castle” by Sahaja Yogis and locals alike. It was the European home to Shri Mataji for 20 years. It is becoming a place of pilgrimage for the numerous visitors practicing Sahaja Yoga meditation who come here from all over the world.
The Palace is also the registered office of the Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi Sahaja Yoga World Foundation and of Casa Madre Impresa Sociale Srl ETS.
