The spectacular facade to the left of the Seminary, with bossage work, or relief stone, on the lower part and arches on the top part, is a sort of introduction to the facade of the Archbishop’s Palace, where the same design continues.
The facade of the Bishop’s Palace is a masterpiece from 1758 by Emanuele Manieri, featuring a magnificent Baroque central element composed of a lofty entrance arch, numerous arches and a receding upper part. This building spectacularly completes the perspective of the square, complementing the side facade of the Cathedral. On the upper part is the clock created in 1764 by Domenico Panico from Lecce.
