Located in one of the main squares of Nardò, the Palazzo del Sedile was built in the 1500s as the seat of civic government.\n\nAmong the elegant decorations, mostly from a later period and predominantly in Baroque style, you can admire the statues of San Gregorio Armeno, Sant’Antonio da Padova and San Michele, the city's patron saints.\n\nOn February 20, 1743, a major earthquake struck a vast area throughout Salento and also destroyed buildings and churches in Nardò.\n\nAs a result, much of the medieval and Renaissance architecture disappeared, and even the current Piazza Salandra changed its face. The only witness to earlier centuries is the Sedile building itself.
