    Also known as the Government Palace, it's located adjacent to the Basilica of Santa Croce and enjoys a strategic position thanks to the double access from via Umberto I and from viale XXV Luglio. The palace was built starting from 1549, on a project by Riccardi, to whom we owe the original cloister. The major works of the long façade (1659-1695) were carried out by two illustrious architects: Giuseppe Zimbalo and Giuseppe Cino, who respectively built the first and second order according to the classical styles of Lecce baroque. It housed the Celestine monks for three centuries, until the Napoleonic suppression of 1807, when they were sent away and the building became an administrative institutional seat.
