In the heart of Lecce’s historic center, overlooking Piazzetta Arco di Prato, stands one of the most celebrated noble palaces of 17th-century Salento: a residence that has spanned four centuries, leaving its mark in art books, magazines, and local and national illustrations. It is enshrined in the collective imagination as an emblem of Apulian Baroque architecture.

Its unmistakable profile features a balustraded and arched loggia, an imaginative corner balcony supported by corbels, and a monumental wooden door topped by the Costantini family crest. These elements distinguish it across the entire historic center skyline, making it a unique gem in Salento’s architectural heritage.

Inside, the residence reveals its extraordinary quality:
- Star-shaped vaults
- Rooms with noble proportions
- Historic floors
- A sequence of spaces evoking the measured rhythm of grand southern aristocratic homes

Every wrought iron element—from the famous spiral staircases to the loggia railings—bears the signature of master blacksmith Antonio d’Andrea. His works are documented and reproduced in the most authoritative art publications of the region, giving the property historical and artistic value far beyond its real estate worth.

The palace extends over multiple levels with a generous and complex layout:
- A noble floor of 330 sqm with double salons, dining room, representative chambers, and privileged views of the square
- A ground floor of 170 sqm with highly versatile spaces
- A panoramic sun terrace of 320 sqm across multiple levels, offering 360° views of the city’s rooftops and bell towers

Completing this rare offering in the historic center are:
- Three independent entrances
- A private garage of 40 sqm
- Historic underground cellars of 80 sqm
- An internal courtyard
- An independent 30 sqm living unit with an exclusive terrace

This is a treasure suspended among the spires and bell towers of the old city, overlooking the silent theater of Lecce’s rooftops.

A property of such historical, artistic, and architectural significance rarely comes to market. It is ideal for those who wish not just to buy a property but to become part of Lecce’s history.

Amenities include:
- Gyms
- Wellness centers
- Football fields
- Sports complexes
- Tennis courts
- Bike paths
- Playgrounds
- Train station
- Public transport
- Nursery
- Elementary schools
- Middle schools
- High schools
- Bars
