For sale palace in city Grottaglie Puglia

HISTORICAL PALACE on two levels, called Palazzo dei Cadetti, located in the historic center of Grottaglie at Via Vittorio Emanuele II. Dating back to 1500, it was known as the Palazzo dei "secondogeniti" because it was inhabited by the cadet family of the feudatories. Recently RENOVATED, the Palace retains, the original floors, the wooden interior doors, with their impressive carved frames and the wonderful windows of the eighteenth century.
The main façade and the two sides are in Baroque style, with precious rosettes, stone balconies and an important entrance portal with a door surmounted by apotropaic mask (it was used to keep away from the house the evil spirits); on the ground floor, is accessed from the hall, on which overlook several rooms (seven large rooms) embellished with typical star vaults, some with additional access from the road; at the end of the hall a courtyard encloses the staircase leading to the apartment on the first floor (piano nobile).
The main floor retains the historic structure of the building and is developed in a sequence of rooms (eight) large and bright, almost all connected to each other, leading to the central hall, characterized by a large vaulted star, supported by half columns and flanked by cross vaults.
Almost all the rooms on the main floor retain the baroque doors, decorated with large and imposing frames, and these decorations are taken on the windows located on the street front of the building.
Also on the first floor, a balcony overlooking the courtyard, leads on one side to a small storage once used as a dovecote and on the other to the staircase leading to the TERRACE that offers a suggestive view of the entire historic center.
The property can be used both as a prestigious private residence and as accommodation.
