Palazzo dei Celestini, Baroque palace in Lecce, Italy.
The Palazzo dei Celestini displays intricate limestone carvings on its facade, featuring detailed geometric patterns and floral decorations across multiple floors.
Built during the 17th century Counter-Reformation period, the palace served as a residence for the Celestine religious order within the expanding ecclesiastical complex.
The palace architecture reflects the Leccese Baroque style, incorporating local craftsmanship techniques with soft limestone that was treated with milk for preservation.
The palace stands next to the Basilica di Santa Croce and currently functions as the seat of the Provincial Government of Lecce.
The facade exhibits the signature amber hue characteristic of Lecce stone, which transforms its appearance throughout the day as sunlight shifts across its surface.
