Palace for sale Lecce, Apulia

This splendid residence is an architectural jewel located in the city of Lecce, in the heart of the Apulian Baroque, in one of the liveliest and most strategic areas of the city, overlooking an avenue undergoing urban transformation into an elegant "pedestrian garden". Built in 1888, with its two imposing facades and a large internal residential area of 1,500 square meters, gardens of approximately 850 square meters and cellars of 400 square meters, the palace is an extraordinary example of elegance and history. Built in Lecce stone, it has a majestic green portal with a lion's head knocker that leads to a monumental entrance with a vaulted ceiling and decorative niches, a reception hall of extraordinary size, able to accommodate up to six cars, with direct access to the side gardens. The palace houses four independent apartments. The apartments on the ground floor, decorated with mosaics, overlook the front and rear gardens. The marble staircase leads to the two noble apartments, one of which was the residence of the famous composer Pasquale Chillino, with a decorated hall and precious mosaic floors. The ancient coach house has been transformed into a modern garage, while the basement, obtained from the original quarry, has been adapted to a relaxation and entertainment area, maintaining the rustic aesthetics of the Lecce stone. The main garden, with magnolias and bougainvillea, guarantees privacy and an enchanting atmosphere. In addition to its artistic history linked to the composer Chillino, the palace was selected in 2023 to host a contemporary art exhibition organized by the FAI, confirming its cultural role in the city of Lecce. This noble palace is protected by the Superintendence of Fine Arts and represents an investment opportunity for investors and entrepreneurs in the real estate sector. A viewing is strongly recommended to discover the extraordinary beauty and potential of this unique property.
