Palazzo Zanca, Municipal palace in Messina, Italy
The Palazzo Zanca extends over 12,000 square meters and features a symmetrical Neoclassical facade with commemorative sculptures and decorative reliefs.
Built between 1914 and 1924, the palace replaced the original city hall that was destroyed during the devastating 1908 earthquake in Messina.
The palace displays mythological figures of Dina and Clarenza on its bas-reliefs, representing important symbols of Messina's identity.
The building functions as Messina's city hall, housing municipal offices, the city council chamber, and administrative services for residents.
Ancient walls from the Magna Graecia period remain preserved within the palace structure, connecting modern governance with classical antiquity.
