Palazzo della Fraternita dei Laici, Renaissance city palace in Piazza Grande, Arezzo, Italy
The Palazzo della Fraternita dei Laici combines Gothic and Renaissance architectural elements, featuring a monumental staircase and a long arcade with shops beneath.
Construction began in 1375, but the palace gained its current form through Giorgio Vasari's design contributions in the 1570s, completed by Alfonso and Giulio Parigi in 1595.
The palace houses a museum displaying artworks from the 14th to 19th centuries, including paintings, sculptures, drawings, and antique furniture collected by the fraternity.
The museum welcomes visitors daily from 10:30 AM to 6:00 PM, with regular admission at 5 euros and additional guided tours available for 2 euros.
The palace features a 16th-century astronomical clock by Felice da Fossato, located in the bell sail designed by Vasari, which continues to function today.
