Broletto, Medieval palazzo in Orta San Giulio, Italy
The Broletto features stone walls adorned with three sundials, coats of arms, and the symbol of Orta San Giulio on its exterior facades.
Built in 1582, the Broletto served as the meeting place for the General Council, where deputies from the bishop's fiefdom exercised legislative powers.
The council hall contains a fresco depicting Madonna with Saints Giulio and Francesco, illustrating the religious influence on local governance.
The ground floor of the palazzo opens to Piazza Motta through arches, hosting a weekly market every Wednesday for local residents.
The building's three sundials operate on different time-keeping systems: two using italic hours counting from sunset, and one using French hours from midnight.
