Palazzo d'Accursio, Medieval town hall in Piazza Maggiore, Bologna, Italy
The Palazzo d'Accursio features a clock tower, two inner courtyards, and a bronze statue of Pope Gregory XIII on its entrance portal.
The palace became the seat of the Anziani, Bologna's highest magistrates, in 1336 and underwent major renovations by architect Fioravante Fioravanti in the 1400s.
The Municipal Art Collections occupy the second floor's former papal quarters, displaying artworks from the Middle Ages through the nineteenth century.
The palazzo contains the Biblioteca Salaborsa library with visible Roman ruins under its glass floor and serves as Bologna's administrative center.
The Horses' Great Staircase, built in 1587 by Donato Bramante, allowed carriages to reach upper floors and remains a ceremonial route for newly elected mayors.
