Palazzo Gambacorti, Gothic town hall at Corso Italia, Pisa, Italy.
Palazzo Gambacorti is a town hall building in Gothic style standing on Corso Italia in Pisa, built with white marble and featuring two stories of multi-light windows. The structure combines these decorative elements with interior spaces designed for municipal functions.
The building originated with a family of counts who took control of it in the 14th century and gave it their name. During that time it also served as a residence for high-ranking visitors including a major European ruler of the period.
The palace stands out on the main street with its distinctive Gothic facade that draws the eye of passersby. Its position at Corso Italia makes it a natural landmark that locals and visitors naturally notice while moving through the city.
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.
Part of the building's south side preserves arches from an older tower structure that is centuries older than the current construction. This passageway connects two small streets and shows in layers how the city evolved through different building phases.
