Palazzo degli Uffici, Palace and Italian national heritage in Piazza Archita, Taranto, Italy
The Palazzo degli Uffici exhibits a quadrangular structure with decorative Doric and Ionic pilasters across multiple floors facing Piazza Archita.
Construction began in 1787 under Ferdinando IV of Bourbon as an orphanage, but political changes delayed completion until 1894 under engineer Giovanni Galeone.
The building housed the Liceo Ginnasio Archita, a prestigious educational institution where Italian statesman Aldo Moro studied during his formative years.
The palace contains multiple entrances on the ground floor and twenty decorated windows on upper levels, with a mechanical clock at its triangular pediment.
Archaeological excavations in 2006 revealed four Jewish graves carved into the calcareous rock beneath a classroom floor, containing preserved skeletons.
