Palazzo Gambacorti, Gothic town hall on Lungarno Gambacorti, Pisa, Italy

Palazzo Gambacorti is the town hall of Pisa, located on Lungarno Gambacorti between Via Toselli and Via Degli Uffizi, near the south end of Ponte di Mezzo. Its 14th-century Gothic facade alternates white and black materials and is adorned with two-light windows. A rear 17th-century facade on Via Toselli, attributed to Pietro Francavilla, has tall windows with semicircular pediments and a portal bearing the Medici coat of arms.

Pietro Gambacorti, of Pisa's merchant nobility, commissioned the palace between 1370 and 1392, possibly to a design by Tommaso Pisano, son of Andrea Pisano. In the 15th century it passed from private residence to seat of public magistracies: the Consoli del Mare, the customs office and later the city Priors. In 1533 it returned to private hands with the Del Tignoso family, who enlarged it by absorbing the two flanking buildings.

The palace's name comes from Pietro Gambacorti, who commissioned it; his family belonged to Pisa's merchant nobility with estates in the Valdera. Today the Sala degli Stemmi, decorated with coats of arms of city leaders including post-1861 mayors, hosts civil weddings, while the entrance hall is occasionally used for temporary exhibitions.

Visitors can take time to admire the facade from outside, which is easy to reach from the main square. Those interested in seeing the interior should check opening hours before planning a visit.

The two buildings flanking the palace on Via Toselli and Via Degli Uffizi were absorbed into the complex in the 16th century by the Del Tignoso family, yet from the street they still read as separate houses. The rear facade on Via Toselli, with tall semicircular-pedimented windows and a portal bearing the Medici coat of arms, is attributed to Pietro Francavilla.
