Palazzo Gentile is representative of the neoclassical style in vogue in the 19th century.
The facade of the palace, located halfway down Corso Vittorio Emanuele, the main street of Bitonto extra moenia, is punctuated by alternating architraved windows surmounted by jutting cornices of finely worked stone.
Inside, the quadrangular plan is characterized by the staircase placed in the center of the courtyard that divides two semi-porticoes with facades adorned with pilasters and stone cornice typical of quarries in the Murgia area.
The staircase leading to the second floor is reminiscent in its movements of some architectural solutions of the famous architect Vanvitelli.
On the second floor, the walls are adorned with stucco and decorations in neoclassical style, with floors made of Capodimonte majolica tiles.
Palazzo Gentile, the seat of the Bitonto City Council, rises as a symbol of the new post-unification city, projected into the future and solidly linked to its prestigious past marked by culture and art.
