PUGLIA - BRINDISI
HISTORICAL BUILDING


Coldwell Banker, offers for sale, ancient "Ripa" Palace dating back to the 17th century. located in one of the main streets of Brindisi, Via Carmine.
The entire property is spread over a total covered area of 2,100 m2 (approximately 700 gross m2 per floor), while the uncovered surface (atrium and small garden behind) measures 150 m2.
The total number of rooms, which includes small rooms such as the large barrel-vaulted rooms on the ground floor, exceeds 90 units.
The structure appears to be one of the few examples of Baroque manufacture in Brindisi.
The property is composed on the ground floor of a large barrel-vaulted room which is accessed from the atrium and on the side of large rooms formerly used for the storage of oils with barrel and star vaults, these rooms have an independent entrance on the main street; On the first floor we find various rooms and a gallery, most likely an element onto which the rooms all around the atrium overlooked; this environment would have had a vaulted ceiling.
On the second floor we find nine apartments totally to be renovated overlooking both Via Carmine and the back.
Palazzo Ripa can be considered a rare example remaining among the elegant buildings that stood on Via Carmine; the façade is simple and suggestive, with baroque lines particularly evident in the richly worked portal.
The decorations are carved into the ashlars of precious local material: "Il Carparo".
The building is characterized by a courtyard layout, around which the galleries on the 1st and 2nd floors run; the works carried out in 1920 then expanded the building with the construction of a building at the back, called "Scala B", where there was once a citrus grove. This, of equal height to that of the building, is divided into three levels, including the ground floor, each of which contains two apartments, joined together and sewn to the old structure.
A strip of the garden remains which is accessed from a room where there is still a brick oven from the early last century.
From via Carmine, through the main door, you enter a vaulted entrance hall, connecting with the internal atrium; at the end of the entrance hall, on the right, there is a staircase connecting to the first floor which is intact.
On the first floor gallery there are still two original balustrades, together with the frame of the main door leading to the floor.
