GRIMALDI STORE LECCE Vico dei Fieschi, 16 - 73100
In one of the most significant places in the city of Lecce we are pleased to offer a monumental property (expertly restored 20 years ago) with a level terrace above the Prato Arch. This house is on the first floor of a noble palace from the 1500s characterized by neoclassical style friezes with floral decorations in Lecce stone. It consists of nine rooms all with star vaults and windows with internal views of the Piazzetta Arco Di Prato for a total of internal surface area of approximately 293 m2. The property can be reached by a staircase inside the courtyard of the Arco di Prato where there is also the possibility of car parking for residents. The house consists of an entrance hallway , large living area with exit onto the Arco di Prato for an extension of approximately 116 m2 characterized by the architectural presence of the balustrade, three double bedrooms and a bathroom. The Arco di Prato - restored two years ago - owes its name to Leonardo Prato, man of arms and illustrious leader, who in 1479 raised the name of his family, originally from Lecce, distinguishing himself in the bloody battle of Rhodes against the Turks and a few years later was an active part in the peace negotiations with the Pasha . The construction of the Prato Arch dates back to 1500 and fully respects its style. What is most enchanting about the Prato Arch is its depth, which makes it similar to a gallery rather than an arch. Ai on the edges of the entrance, there are two pilasters on which the plumes celebrating the Prato family are sculpted. At the center of the Prato Arch stands a volute and if you look up again you can admire a balustrade made up of shaped balustrades alternating with square pillars . On the right side, visible only to the most curious, is the oldest coat of arms of the city.
