Palazzo degli Uffici, Palace and Italian national heritage in Piazza Archita, Taranto, Italy

Palazzo degli Uffici is a palace building on Piazza Archita in Taranto with a rectangular footprint and multiple stories. The facade displays decorative Doric and Ionic pilasters, ornamented windows across the upper levels, and a mechanical clock positioned at its triangular pediment.

Ferdinand IV of Bourbon ordered an orphanage for Taranto's poor children and soldiers' orphans by royal decree in 1787. Archbishop Giuseppe Capecelatro laid the first stone in 1791, but the events of 1799 halted work. In 1872 the municipality resumed construction to plans by engineer Giovanni Galeone, finishing in 1895; the building opened on 28 June 1896 under mayor Alessandro Criscuolo.

The building housed the Liceo Ginnasio "Archita", Taranto's oldest secondary school, for more than a century. Its pupils included Aldo Moro, later prime minister of Italy. A commemorative plaque on the third floor honours King Umberto I of Savoy, assassinated in 1900.

The main front faces Piazza Archita and lines up with the Ponte Girevole, so it is easily seen from the bridge. The building has been under restoration and internal reorganisation since 2002, so access to the interior may be limited; the facade and the clock on the pediment can be viewed from the square.

Excavations in 2006 uncovered four Jewish burials carved into the limestone rock beneath a classroom floor. These interments with their preserved remains suggest a long-standing Jewish presence in the region.
