Palazzo della Ragione
Palazzo della Ragione, Medieval town hall in Piazza delle Erbe, Mantua, Italy.
The Palazzo della Ragione spans three floors with masonry pillars supporting brick walls decorated with three-part windows and arched details.
Construction began between 1242 and 1250 under mayor Guido da Correggio, establishing the building as both a marketplace and judicial center.
The upper floor council chamber hosted municipal meetings and receptions, while the ground level served as a marketplace and public trial venue.
The building stands in the center of Mantua, with the ground floor currently housing various shops and restaurants beneath the projected portico.
The clock tower, added in 1475, features a balcony used for proclamations and a small house extension that contained a bell for the night watch.
