Broletto Palace

Broletto Palace is the town hall of Lodi, located in the heart of the city with a stone front displaying pointed arches and medieval structural elements. The building shows typical Gothic features with Baroque details added later to both its facade and interior spaces.

The building was constructed in the 13th century when Lodi needed a central place for city administration. Over the centuries it was remodeled several times, receiving Baroque additions that shaped its appearance to this day.

This palace served as the center of city power and reflects the importance Lodi held as a medieval trading city. The rooms inside still show where decisions were made that shaped the development of the community.

The palace is located directly in the center of Lodi and is easily reached on foot from the main square. The facade can be viewed from the street, while visits to the interior depend on the working hours of the city administration.

The building was traditionally where the local community gathered to make decisions that affected daily life in the city. This function continues today, with the place retaining its weight as the center of city administration.
