Municipal Palace

The large and scenic staircase leads to the Palazzo Comunale, which has stood there for almost 1000 years and tells us the long history of the building that has always represented local power. Work on the construction of the Palazzo Comunale began in the twelfth century, to create a space dedicated to the new municipal institutions. The first stone was laid on the remains of a Roman forum, at the crossroads of the ancient cardo and decumanus.in 1500 and then in 1800 were made several grafts, as evidenced by the difference in style on the crenellated tower with the clock. On the right side of the building there is a column of 1508 with the "Marzocco" the lion symbol of Florentine power. Inside the palace it is worth visiting the Sala del Consiglio with its 16th century fireplace carved in stone.
