Palazzo Amati, Palace in Taranto, Italy.

Palazzo Amati spans across three connected buildings, featuring 37 rooms and multiple levels including underground storage areas for wine and oil preservation.

Baron Giacomo Amati constructed the palace during the second half of the eighteenth century by merging three smaller buildings he owned since 1748.

The palace underwent transformation from a noble residence to a university facility and currently houses the Ketos Mediterranean Center for Marine Studies and Cetaceans.

Located on Corso Vittorio Emanuele II, the main entrance with its grand portal faces Vico Vigilante while the palace overlooks the Mar Grande.

The building contains iron loggias, marble staircases, and an extensive underground system of wells and cisterns used for traditional food storage methods.
