Palazzo della Provincia, Italian national heritage building on Lungomare Nazario Sauro, Bari, Italy

Palazzo della Provincia is an eclectic-style building on Lungomare Nazario Sauro in Bari, erected between 1932 and 1935 to the design of engineer Luigi Baffa for the provincial administration. It has an irregular quadrilateral plan and a clock tower originally planned at 48.5 metres and later raised by 14 metres. It houses the Pinacoteca Metropolitana Corrado Giaquinto.

The Provincial Administration of Bari commissioned the palace in 1930; it was built between 1932 and 1935 to a design by engineer Luigi Baffa, then chief engineer of the provincial technical office. Several leading Apulian architects, designers and craftsmen, among them Saverio Dioguardi, contributed to the project, and it is still unclear how much of the design belongs to each.

The Pinacoteca Metropolitana within the palace displays paintings from Apulian, Venetian, Tuscan, and Neapolitan artists spanning medieval to modern periods. Visitors can explore the different regional artistic traditions of southern Italy all in one collection.

The building sits directly on the waterfront promenade and is easily walkable from the city center. Keep in mind that parts of the building house government offices, so the art gallery operates on set visiting hours.

The clock tower was first planned at 48.5 metres but was raised by a further 14 metres during construction, reaching about 62.5 metres. Clearly visible from the sea, it defines the city skyline.
