The entrance portal is valuable, enriched by allegorical representations of both Old Age and Youth and an elegant balcony supported by five corbels decorated with griffins, dogs and monsters. The loggia overlooking the sea is richly decorated with allegorical themes on the seasons of life. The first floor of the palace is used for temporary exhibitions and the second for the permanent De Nittis Art Gallery.

San Giacomo Church

The rectory of San Giacomo is one of the oldest churches in Barletta, indeed its foundation is thought to date back to the late 11th century.

At the time of its construction, the church was outside the city walls and it was located in a strategic position on the road leading to Canne. The current religious building is the result of numerous building superimpositions that occurred over the centuries and of the urbanistic events that affected the ancient Borgo San Giacomo in contemporary times.

The front facing the corso sees the presence of a clock in the middle of the obelisk. The clock is placed on an advanced construction with respect to the line of the external front of the church.
