Palazzo Tolomei, Gothic palace in Siena, Italy.
The Palazzo Tolomei stands on Via Banchi di Sopra with a stone facade featuring double lancet windows and trefoil decorations on its upper levels.
Built between 1270 and 1275, this palace served as the first permanent headquarters of the Sienese commune during the early Guelph era before Palazzo Pubblico.
The palace holds connections to Pia Tolomei, whose story Dante immortalized in his literary work when describing his encounter with her in Purgatory.
The building now functions as the main branch of Banca CR Firenze, with regular banking hours determining public access to this historical structure.
A Roman She-wolf crowned column stands in front of the palace, marking its significance within the medieval banking district of Siena.
