Palazzo Comunale, Renaissance palace in Pienza, Italy

The Palazzo Comunale presents a travertine facade with a triple arched portico supported by Ionic columns and features a tall terracotta clock tower.

The construction of this municipal palace in the 15th century was part of Pope Pius II's transformation of his birth town from Corsignano to Pienza.

The Council Chamber contains a 15th-century Sienese school fresco depicting Madonna with Child alongside Pienza's patron saints: San Vito, San Modesto, and San Matteo.

The palace maintains its function as the town hall of Pienza while allowing visitors to explore its architectural elements during designated visiting hours.

Stone-carved coats of arms of former mayors and Pope Pius II Piccolomini decorate the interior walls of the portico, documenting centuries of local governance.
