Description

The "Palazzo del Seggio" or "Sedile di Lecce" is a majestic cubic building overlooking Piazza S. Oronzo. It was built in the mid-16th century by Alessandro Saponaro and was intended to play a representative role for the city of Lecce.

The Palazzo del Seggio represents the most tangible testimony, together with the adjacent Church of San Marco, of the commercial relations between the territory and the Republic of Venice. Subject of a recent restoration, it is currently a space dedicated to cultural and artistic activities.
