Palazzo del Comune, Municipal palace in Montecatini Terme, Italy.
Palazzo del Comune is the town hall of Montecatini Terme, located in the Valdinievole region of Tuscany. The building displays Neo-Renaissance style features and houses the main administrative offices for the municipality.
The building originated in a period of significant development for Tuscan administration. Its creation was tied to Montecatini's rise as an important administrative center for the region.
The interior displays local art collections, including a notable bust of Pietro Bargiola among historical pieces. These works reflect the town's artistic heritage within an active public building.
The building is visible from outside and sits centrally on a main street in town. Visitors can admire the architecture from the street, but access to the interior is limited as it serves as an active municipal office.
The building combines its role as an active administrative center with official status as national heritage. This dual role as both a working municipal office and a protected monument is unusual for a town hall.
