Architecture:

In Bitonto, the Baroque caught on only in the decorations that we can find in particular in the columns of the large portal, whose shaft is characterized by drums unusual in the region of Bari but common in Neapolitan architecture. Capitals are executed in the composite style, with masks at the centre of the volutes. The portal pilasters, against whom the columns lean, and the portal arch are constituted by “conci a bozze”. Another interesting feature is the hall, with a barrel vault with lunettes, whose central part shows a large painted coat of arms.

A Brief History:

The palace is the result of an extension of the old Romanesque structure carried out in the XVII century. Although it is contemporary of other Renaissance buildings, it was restructured in the Baroque style in the XVII century by the Sylos Sersale family.
