Palazzo Comunale, Town hall in Piazza Aurelio Saffi, Forlì, Italy

The Palazzo Comunale stands as a central administrative building with a grand staircase leading to a narrow gallery connecting multiple frescoed halls on the first floor.

The palace construction began around the year 1000 near an ancient tower, later becoming the residence of the Ordelaffi family in 1412 and undergoing several expansions.

Inside the Council Hall, designed by Bibiena in 1761, the walls display frescoes by Felice Giani from 1809 and Francesco Menzocchi from 1563.

The palace interior rooms remain accessible during office hours, with guided tours available for groups through advance reservations at the municipal office.

The defenestration of Girolamo Riario, nephew of Pope Sixtus IV, occurred at this palace in 1488, leading to a period of political upheaval.
