Altes Rathaus Nürnberg

The Nuremberg City Hall features three decorated portals on its western facade, displaying statues of four monarchs following Italian architectural influences.

The initial town hall emerged in the 13th century, followed by a substantial Gothic reconstruction between 1332 and 1340, marking Nuremberg's municipal growth.

The Great Hall of the building functioned as a courthouse, dance venue, and gathering place for parliamentary assemblies during medieval times.

Guided tours of the city hall provide access to multiple chambers, including the council room where visitors learn about local governance traditions.

The interior decorations were supervised by artist Albrecht Dürer in collaboration with city advisor Willibald Pirckheimer, incorporating classical literary references.
