Palazzo dei Trecento, Municipal palace in Piazza dei Signori, Treviso, Italy
Palazzo dei Trecento is a municipal building in Treviso featuring a two-story brick structure with an open colonnade on the ground floor. The upper level is illuminated by three large window groupings that open onto the main assembly hall.
Construction began in 1185 as the Domus Comunis for municipal gatherings and was completed in 1268 as the seat of Treviso's government council. It remained the city's most important administrative and meeting building for centuries afterward.
The frescoes inside show works by Venetian artists and display coats of arms that symbolize the connection between Treviso and regional power. Visitors can see beautifully decorated rooms that served as meeting places for important decisions over many centuries.
The location is easily accessible and offers clear views of the medieval architecture from the outside. Most visitors explore the ground-floor colonnade and surrounding area before seeking access to the interior spaces.
The building required partial reconstruction after bombing during World War II, revealing how sturdy the original construction was underneath. The restoration work still preserves its medieval appearance today.
