Palazzo del Popolo, Gothic palace in Todi, Italy.

Palazzo del Popolo is the town hall of Todi, built in the Lombard-Gothic style. Its facade has a low ground-floor portico and two upper storeys with two orders of mullioned windows. A bell tower added in 1523 rises beside it, and the building shares its role as seat of the municipality and civic museum with the adjoining Palazzo del Capitano.

The palace was enlarged toward the piazza in 1213 and in 1228 was unified with the adjoining Palazzo del Capitano and raised by one storey. At the end of the 19th century Giuseppe Sacconi and Getulio Ceci directed restorations that added the crenellation above the structure. The bell tower dates from 1523.

The palace shares its building with the Palazzo del Capitano, and both now house the town hall and the civic museum. The museum's rooms hold the civic collections, so a visit shows how Todi's public institutions kept and displayed art rather than a church treasury.

You can enter through a single entrance that also connects to the neighboring Palazzo del Capitano, with the galleries located in the upper floors. The interior staircase and layout can be confusing, so moving slowly through the rooms allows you to take in the artworks properly.

The crenellated parapet on top of the palace is not medieval: it was added at the end of the 19th century during restorations led by Giuseppe Sacconi and Getulio Ceci. The bell tower, by contrast, dates from 1523. Today the palace and the adjoining Palazzo del Capitano house both the town hall and the civic museum.
