Town hall, Municipal palace complex in Padua, Italy

The Palazzo Comunale consists of multiple connected buildings, including the Palazzo Moroni, Palazzo della Ragione, and the Torre degli Anziani tower.

The complex originated in the 13th century when the Camposampiero family granted land to the city for administrative buildings and tribunals.

The upper floor of Palazzo della Ragione contains a grand hall decorated with 15th-century frescoes depicting astrological cycles and medieval life.

The ground floor of the complex maintains its historical function as a market space, selling local food products and beverages.

The northeast corner houses the Pietra del Vituperio, a black stone seat where debtors faced public exposure during medieval times.
