Palazzo Comunale, Medieval civic palace in San Gimignano, Italy.

The Palazzo Comunale is a medieval civic building in San Gimignano with multiple floors containing frescoed chambers and decorated spaces. The interior courtyard features coats of arms and a stepped gallery that once served as a platform for public announcements.

Construction of the building started in the late 13th century and reused existing older structures as its foundation. Throughout the 14th century, the palace expanded with new rooms and artistic decorations added progressively.

The council hall is called Sala di Dante because the poet spoke there in 1300 as Florence's ambassador, pleading for a Tuscan Guelph league. Its Maestà was signed and dated by Lippo Memmi in 1317, commissioned by podestà Nello di Mino Tolomei, who appears among the adoring figures.

The Torre Grossa tower attached to the palace can be climbed for a view of the town and surrounding landscape below. The tower provides an open vantage point to see the full extent of San Gimignano and the rolling countryside around it.

The Camera del Podestà, on the second floor, is frescoed by Memmo di Filippuccio with scenes of a young man's amorous initiation, dated to the early 14th century: a couple bathing together and then going to bed. The same room has hunting and tournament scenes by Azzo di Masetto from around 1290.
