Municipio di Portogruaro, Gothic town hall in Portogruaro, Italy.
The town hall is a two-story administrative building in Gothic style located at Piazza della Repubblica. A stone coat of arms adorns the central entrance, and Venetian leaded glass windows accent the facade throughout.
The central section dates to 1265, making it one of the region's oldest administrative structures. Additional wings were added in 1512 to accommodate the town's expanding administrative needs.
The building holds three notable paintings by Luigi Russolo, including "Impressionismo di un bombardamento" from 1926 and a self-portrait from 1945. These artworks reflect the town's connection to the futurist movement.
The building sits prominently on Piazza della Repubblica and is easy to locate and recognize. Keep in mind it functions as the town's main administrative office, so access may be limited during working hours.
The ground floor contains the Sala delle colonne, a columned hall that served as the city jail for four centuries. A silk-clad herald figure still stands there, marking this former prison space.
