Palazzo di Giustizia

Palazzo di Giustizia is a building in Salerno with a prominent facade along Corso Garibaldi, featuring two towers of different heights. The structure displays strong architectural composition with a central section flanked by these rising structural elements.

The building was constructed between 1931 and 1939 under architect Guido Quercia's direction, replacing an earlier structure. The previous building had served as a detention facility for Austrian prisoners during World War I.

The main hall Salone dei Marmi features a bronze statue of Giovanni Amendola, sculpted by Gaetano Chiaramonte in 1949. This statue stands as a public memorial to an important historical figure within the building's interior space.

The building is located along Corso Garibaldi and is easily visible from the street. Note that judicial functions have been relocated to a new judicial complex on Via Dalmazia since 2019.

In 1944 the building temporarily served as headquarters for Italy's Ministry of Justice and Supreme Court of Cassation after their transfer from Brindisi. This occurred during the upheaval of World War II.
