Palazzo Falco

A Palace that tells the city’s history, located between Piazza Sant’Oronzo and the evocative Cathedral Square (Piazza del Duomo), just 100 metres from the Palace entrance. In Lecce’s historic centre, along the elegant street linking Piazza Sant’Oronzo to Piazza del Duomo, the Palace features an original 17th-century layout and boasts a distinctive history, having belonged to the same family since 1821, which has preserved its soul and authentic charm. Despite its extremely central position on the main promenade, amid shops and the most beautiful churches, the Palace extends inward, ensuring an atmosphere of silence and privacy. The large main gate opens onto an entrance hall with side arches; further on, an open courtyard brings light into the property. From here one reaches the main staircase leading to the piano nobile. On the ground floor there are additional rooms to be renovated, offering extraordinary potential, and a second staircase that also leads to the piano nobile. The piano nobile in fact has three separate entrances, offering ideal layout flexibility. Each room is a tribute to the city and its history, with original granigliato floors with floral motifs, cement tiles, and high star vaults that define almost all the spaces; the heart of this level, however, is the main reception hall, a representative room with a striking frescoed pavilion vault, and the adjoining library room, also connected by the balcony overlooking the corso. The property continues on the second floor, where there is a small apartment, perfectly renovated and ready to live in. Another jewel of the property is the system of terraces arranged on multiple levels. These open-air spaces offer unique, privileged views: a frontal, dramatic outlook onto the arches of the Theatine Convent, allowing you to experience the beauty of the city’s historic centre from an intimate, private perspective, almost close enough to touch the bell tower of Cathedral Square (Piazza del Duomo). This residence is not only a Palace, but a piece of Lecce’s history. With major renovation on the ground floor and the piano nobile, it is the ideal solution for those seeking a prestigious private residence or wishing to create a charming hospitality property in one of the city’s most exclusive locations.
