GALATINA - LECCE - SALENTO In the heart of the characteristic historic center of Galatina, a few steps from Piazza Dante Alighieri and the public gardens, we are delighted to offer for sale a prestigious historic palace dating back to the early 1900s with a total surface area of about 900 sqm spread on two levels. An elegant door with a stone arch leads to the internal courtyard whose ceiling is embellished with typical star vaults. A marble and wrought iron staircase leads to the first floor of about 480 sqm, featuring large and bright rooms which are currently divided into two separate residential units which however can easily be joined together to become a single, large, residence. In the part overlooking Corso Armando Diaz there is a first apartment with wonderful frescoed vaults and reliefs as well as wonderful period floors. There is a large double living room, three bedrooms, a study room, a kitchen and four bathrooms. Adjacent, there is the apartment which overlooks Via Caracciolo, othat is the parallel street to Corso Armando Diaz, also characterized by star-vaulted ceilings and period floors. It consists of a bright living room with a terrace of 50 sqm offering a nice view of Porta San Pietro, one of the ancient gates to the historic center of the city; there are also two bedrooms, a kitchen, a bathroom and a storage. Both apartments have access to the roof terrace which offers a wonderful view of the ancient buildings and the narrow streets of the historic center. On the ground floor there are various rooms, for a total surface area of about 420 sqm, which can be accessed both from Corso Armando Diaz, from Via Caracciolo, as well as from the inside courtyard.

In fact, Galatina, being located a few kilometers from the sea, is certainly one of the most popular centers in Salento thanks to its baroque architecture, squares, shops and many clubs and restaurants.
