Taranto

The majestic Government Palace of Taranto, designed by architect Armando Brasini, was built between 1930 and 1934 to house the Prefecture, the Police Headquarters and the offices of the province. The building, located on the seafront of Vittorio Emanuele III, stands out for its grandeur and for the architectural style that recalls a fortified Roman castrum, typical of fascist monumentalism. The main facade has a grandiose loggia with two bronze eagles on cylindrical pedestals, while on the sides of the entrance door there are reliefs depicting armed figures and giant Roman trophies. The interior of the palace is characterized by rooms furnished in style and elegantly decorated, including the Hall of Coats of Arms, where the Provincial Council meets, and the Hall of Representation. The building, 52 meters high and with a surface area of ​​4,500 square meters, represents a significant example of Italian architecture of the fascist period.
