Palazzo del Capitano del Popolo, Gothic palace in Siena, Italy

The Palazzo del Capitano del Popolo features two levels constructed with brick and cavernous limestone, displaying Gothic Senese architectural elements throughout the structure.

Built in 1360 by architect Luca Di Bartolo Luponi, this palace served as the headquarters for the Captain of the People, representing communal authority.

The palace incorporates elements of both Gothic and Renaissance styles, reflecting the architectural preferences and construction techniques of medieval Siena.

Located at Via del Capitano 15, the palace remains under private ownership while maintaining protection from the regional Superintendence of Archaeology and Fine Arts.

The 1854 restoration added distinctive battlements and decorative coats of arms to the facade, enhancing its medieval character.
