Palazzo di Giustizia, Justice palace in Piazza Verga, Catania, Italy.
The Palazzo di Giustizia features a classical facade with prominent columns and extends across multiple floors in the heart of the city.
Construction of the judicial complex began in 1937 under architect Francesco Fichera's direction and reached completion with its official inauguration in 1953.
The entrance hall displays a bronze statue of Justice by sculptor Mimì Maria Lazzaro, holding two figures that represent the balance of right and wrong.
The central courthouse operates at Piazza Giovanni Verga, while additional judicial offices function in separate locations throughout Via Francesco Crispi and Via Guardia della Carvana.
The building incorporates architectural elements from 18th-century Catania adapted into a 20th-century interpretation through its detailed facade and structural design.
