In the heart of Galatina's historic center, amid alleys steeped in history and architecture, a highly prestigious historic mansion that covers about 1100 square meters on two levels, with a large terrace and its own solar area. Built in the 16th century, the palace underwent extensions in the 17th century and a radical renovation in the 18th century, when it passed to a noble family that gave the building an 18th-century look, creating one of the longest elevations in the city, punctuated by elegant windows with a shell on the architrave. The portal, now located at the left end of the complex, was moved in the 1700s to facilitate the access of carriages, and at the same time the mansion was enriched with a magnificent balcony decorated with the faces of Galatinesi historical figures, a valuable element together with the elaborate stone frames of the windows. The wide entrance hall on the ground floor introduces the property, an area that still preserves the authentic traces of its centuries-old history: here is a charming stable, once home to three horses that served the noble family in their movements, while a little further on a large room with an imposing barrel vault housed the production and storage of wine, an essential element for convivial life at the time. Next door, a large double room still houses a large historic oven, used to prepare food for the palace's inhabitants; the wide stone arches tell of the fervor of daily life in the past. The ground floor covers about 650 square meters, offering versatile rooms, while the second floor houses the property's solar area. A majestic stone staircase leads to the second floor, the heart of the residence, where an apartment of about 540 sq. m. opens into a sequence of spacious and elegant rooms, witnesses of its noble origin, embellished by imposing colonnades, built-in closets, original wooden doors and splendid 18th-century Salento cementine floors, perfectly preserved. High ceilings with magnificent star and pavilion vaults, frescoed walls and hanging skies of the period further enhance the elegance and charm of this unique residence. The second floor has four bathrooms and boasts a second independent access from the alleyway, providing greater functionality and possibilities for subdividing space. On the same level is a typical wood-burning kitchen and a beautiful 175-square-meter terrace with panoramic views of the historic center. The building is already prepared for the installation of an alarm system, offering comfort and security without altering its historical charm. Its strategic location, immersed in art, culture and traditions, makes it a perfect solution for those who want a prestigious private residence full of history and charm, but it is also an ideal investment opportunity for those who want to make a refined luxury accommodation in one of the most fascinating locations of Salento.
