Palazzo Comunale, Town hall in Piazza della Repubblica, Foligno, Italy

Palazzo Comunale sits on Piazza della Repubblica and serves as the town's main government building with a multi-story facade featuring classical architectural details. The structure contains the council chamber, municipal offices, and a museum holding historical documents and objects spanning several centuries.

The building was reconstructed between 1546 and 1642 on foundations dating to the 13th century, then underwent further renovations following an earthquake in the 19th century. These periods of rebuilding show how the city restored and updated its government seat after damages and changing needs.

The council chamber holds a stone fireplace dated 1547 and a historical painting cycle by Mariano Piervittori, made between 1883 and 1887. From the palace a passage leads to the Loggia dipinta, built by the Trinci at the start of the 15th century and decorated in 1424-1428 with monochrome frescoes of the theological virtues. The palace also houses the Museo dell'Istituzione comunale, with documents, robes of the old magistracies, emblems and objects from the 15th to the 19th century.

The building sits directly on the town's main square and is easily reached by foot, with an inner courtyard providing a quiet entrance to the museum area. Visitors can start at the plaza entrance and move inward to explore the different rooms and exhibitions.

The medieval tower, called the "torrino", collapsed live on television during the 1997 earthquake while firefighters were inspecting it; its restoration, overseen by engineer Andrea Giannantoni, was completed in a public ceremony on 14 October 2007. The tower stands 52 metres high.
