Palazzo Pantaleo

Built in 1770 by Baron Francesco Maria Pantaleo, this grand 18th-century palazzo now houses the Alfredo Majorano Ethnographic Museum, giving you a rare look into the traditional folk culture and material history of the Taranto region. The building itself is worth seeing for its noble architecture, set against the hauntingly time-frozen backdrop of the old city. Inside, the collections document everyday life and craftsmanship that most of Taranto's history books skip over.
