Palazzo Baronale Serafini-Sauli

The 17th-century Baronial Palace of Tiggiano dominates the central Piazza Castello and is the seat of the Town Hall.

Built in the 17th century on an older defensive tower, it was later expanded with the addition of the entrance portal. The ground floor has 22 rooms and the first floor 19.

From the main courtyard, you enter a splendid garden through a three-arched entrance with a balustrade, leading to the fruit garden. From here, you continue to the forest, a true open-air museum of Mediterranean maquis, imposing pines, oaks, and holm oaks.

The palace has been documented since 1600, when Baron Angelo Serafini moved to Tiggiano to oversee the management of his estates. In 1740, the Serafini family married into the Pieve-Sauli of Gallipoli, and thus the names and families united, transferring the title to the same building.
