It takes its name from the last feudal lord who lived there, the 17th-century Marchesale De Franchis Palace in Taviano, the crown jewel of the historic center that hosts events and cultural manifestations.\n\nThe facade is marked by windows, some of which have balconies, while the portal displays the coat of arms of the noble De Franchis family.\n\nThe palace is structured on two floors. The first served as a noble residence, while the ground floor housed stables and shops. There are also mezzanines, which served as storage and granaries. The palace has recently been restored.
