Palazzo del Podestà, Medieval palace in Piazza dei Signori, Verona, Italy
The palace spans three sides around a rectangular courtyard and features both Gothic and Renaissance architectural elements throughout its structure.
The Scaligeri family commissioned the construction of the palace in the late 13th century, with Alberto I della Scala taking residence after gaining power in 1277.
The palace served as a meeting place for intellectuals, including Dante Alighieri during his exile from Florence in the early 14th century.
Visitors can reach the palace by taking bus lines 70, 96, or 97 to the Piazza Viviani stop, located 130 meters from the building.
Michele Sanmicheli designed the 1533 entrance portal to mirror the ancient Roman Arco dei Gavi, incorporating Ionic columns and decorative coats of arms.
