Palazzo Granafei

TIME : 2016/2/18 21:17:25

A 16th-century Renaissance-style palace named for the two different families who owned it. The building is of interest because it houses the huge ornate capital that used to sit atop one of the Roman columns that marked the end of the Appian Way (the rest of the column is in Lecce). Also on site is a salubrious cafe and the archaeological remains of a Roman domus (house).
