Built almost certainly by Gabriele Riccardi in 1568, Palazzo Loffredo Adorno stands in Lecce opposite the Convent of the Celestines.\n\nThe splendid decoration of the portal and facade, with smooth ashlar, houses an interior area where the wall covering continues to be decorated with diamond-pointed ashlar.\n\nThe building is one of the finest examples of 16th-century architecture and sculpture in Lecce. Anthropomorphic, geometric, and floral decorations enrich all surfaces, making the light vibrate from afar.\n\nRecently restored, it is now the seat of the Presidency of the Provincial Administration of Lecce.
