Palazzo Pubblico, Gothic palace in Siena, Italy.
The Palazzo Pubblico features a curved facade made of stone and brick, facing the central Piazza del Campo with its Torre del Mangia bell tower.
Construction of the municipal palace started in 1297 under the Republic of Siena government, with the Council of Nine establishing it as their administrative headquarters.
The Sala dei Nove contains the Allegory of Good and Bad Government frescoes, commissioned by civil authorities rather than religious institutions during the 14th century.
The palace functions as Siena's city hall on the ground floor, while the upper level houses the Civic Museum with its medieval art collection.
The palace walls incorporate a mechanical clock from the 14th century and display a bronze disc bearing the monogram of Christ above its main entrance.
