Palazzo Pretorio, Renaissance Revival palace in Pisa, Italy.

The Palazzo Pretorio stands with a prominent clock tower and extended portico along the Lungarno Galilei, displaying Renaissance Revival architectural elements.

Originally a medieval structure, the palace underwent substantial reconstruction in the early 1800s under architect Alessandro Gherardesca, followed by post-World War II restoration.

The palace represents the architectural transformation of Pisa during the 19th century, incorporating both administrative functions and artistic elements of the period.

Located near Piazza XX Settembre, the palace requires restoration work estimated at 600,000 euros to address structural issues and falling fragments.

The current clock tower, built after World War II damages, stands taller than its 1785 predecessor and marks a significant change in the building's profile.
