Salento

First Lion Agency is pleased to exclusively offer for sale, in the heart of the historic center of Guagnano, overlooking the picturesque Piazza Maria SS. del Rosario, the Ancient Castle of Guagnano, now transformed into a fascinating Baronial palace of great historical and architectural value. The documented origins of the structure date back to 1274, the year in which the hamlet was enfeoffed by Guidone Sambiasi. Around the first fortified nucleus, probably of Byzantine origin, the first homes of the town developed, giving rise to the inhabited center of Guagnano.
Over the centuries, the castle has gone through important historical events and belonged to some of the most influential noble families of Salento, including the Orsini del Balzo, Princes of Taranto, the De Adimaris, the Zurlo, the Paladini and finally the Filomarini.

The building has undergone several interventions and renovations over time, particularly after the violent earthquake that struck Salento in 1743, an event that partly modified its original layout.

The property in question is located on the first floor with access from Via Giuseppe Garibaldi n. 17 and extends over approximately 210 sq m, distributed in large and bright rooms with an authentic character. The apartment consists of a large entrance hall, living room with attached kitchen, reception room, two bedrooms, a large multi-purpose room ideal as a study or third bedroom, two comfortable closets and a bathroom with window.

The rooms are embellished by the typical Salento vaulted ceilings and refined period frescoes that give uniqueness and prestige to the property. The balconies overlooking the main square of the town offer a pleasant view, while on the back a spacious veranda offers a reserved and livable space.

Through an external staircase, access is gained to the ground floor, where we find a commercial premises registered as C/2 of approximately 45 sq m with direct access from Via Tarentini n. 4 where it is possible to store your car.
