DESCRIPTION

Pretorio Palace, whose construction dates back to 1367, has always been the seat of the Court of Law.During the first half of the nineteenth century, the building was subject to restoration, which however kept many parts of the original structure unaltered, including the internal courtyard, where the fourteenth-century stone bench on which the Podesta sat during the hearings is still preserved. The façade is made of stone and is characterized by two series of Gothic-style mullion windows.
