Make Art a

Philosophy of life

Palazzo Maresgallo is a story of love, art, culture and architecture.

A journey into beauty, a new link with Salento's culture, in the heart of Lecce's historic centre, one of Italy's most beautiful cities of art.

Passion for Art is our philosophy: embracing magnificent ancient and contemporary visions, balancing history and the future.

The authentic architectural elegance of this historic 16th century residence, built by the Maresgallo nobles, the pride of the most eminent aristocratic families of the time, is expressed in the majestic portal, which embellishes the splendid façade.

New Life

New Life

The magic of a new breath: the dialogue between Salento's light and the designs of 16th-century stone has begun again.

Interrupted by the passing of a forgotten time, we have resurfaced it to create a new dimension of refined hospitality, taking care of a skilful and meticulous restoration.

Palazzo Maresgallo shines in a new light between old-world charm and contemporary comfort.

The magnificence that has crossed centuries and history to become even greater is in no hurry. We have learned from it and we are waiting for you.

Art & Design

Art & Design

The first step into the flowery courtyard reveals a passion for art and design. The doors open onto the large hall with its typical star vaults, frescoed by the hand of the well-known artist Roberto Ruspoli.

A pictorial work commissioned and conceived in situ, whose theme "the sun even at night" evokes tradition with the archaic and envelops us in a Salentine dance of delicate figures of Greek culture, so present in the territory of Apulia.
