Palazzo del Comune, Medieval town hall in Piacenza, Italy.
The Palazzo del Comune displays two distinct architectural layers: five pointed archways at ground level and six circular windows with terracotta decorations above.
Construction began in 1281 under merchant leader Alberto Scoto, with four local architects creating this Gothic-Lombard structure as the center of political power.
The grand 700-square-meter hall hosts exhibitions and institutional meetings, maintaining its centuries-old tradition as a gathering space for the community.
The palace stands in Piazza Cavalli, next to the equestrian statues of Ranuccio and Alessandro Farnese, offering guided tours through its medieval architecture.
The building's facade combines pink marble on the lower level with decorated terracotta on the upper windows, creating a notable architectural contrast.
