Elegant Baroque-style Baronial Palace, incorporating part of the older Medieval castle, located in the historic center of Bitetto, adjacent to Porta Piscina and the fortified city walls. The residence is arranged around a large central courtyard, with three above-ground floors and a basement level. The property consists of an older wing in need of restoration, featuring charming frescoed halls and a chapel, a monumental 18th-century section, and a rear garden with trees and a swimming pool. A grand staircase leads to the main floor (piano nobile), where the main apartment with attic rooms was renovated about thirty years ago and is in good condition. On the ground floor, there are two guest apartments and the former stables, now used as an architecture studio. Spacious rooms, some partially restored, are accessible both from the portico and from the street facing the ancient Porta Baresana (also known as Porta Piscina), as well as from side streets. A truly unique historic residence, ideal for those seeking a prestigious home or an exclusive venue for hospitality, cultural, or professional purposes.
