Built in the last decades of the eighteenth century, Palazzo Palmieri is certainly one of the most imposing buildings in the historic center of Monopoli and overlooks the square of the same name, which today acts as a frame for the palace itself. It belonged to the Palmieri, a noble family not originally from Monopoli whose surname, most likely, is linked to the Holy Land: “palmieri” were in fact the name given to those pilgrims who went to Jerusalem and returned carrying with them a palm leaf, symbol of the pilgrimage. The noble coat of arms of this family, not by chance, is made of three crossed palms and a knightly helmet.

Starting from the last two years, the Palace has been at the center of an energetic and above all long-lasting action of valorization that has saved it from oblivion and abandonment, transforming it into a precious cultural container. All the activities promoted by the Asp Romanelli-Palmieri with its commissioner Dr. Marilù Napoletano in collaboration with institutions, private citizens and associations, have had and have the purpose of finding resources for the restoration and valorization of the structure.
