Palazzo Comunale

Palazzo Comunale is a Renaissance palace on Piazza del Duomo, featuring the architectural style of its era with carefully designed proportions. The structure displays an elegant ground-floor portico and distinctive Venetian-style windows across its upper levels.

Construction began in 1525 while Crema was under Venetian control, a period of growth for the city. The building emerged during an era of artistic and political transformation for the region.

The palace houses the city's administrative offices and reflects Crema's importance as a civic center. People gather on the plaza in front, and the building shapes the rhythm of activity in this central square.

The ground-floor portico is accessible to visitors during the day and offers a good vantage point of the square and surrounding buildings. To visit the upper floors, you need to arrange this in advance with the municipal office.

A central clock tower on the building has marked time for people on Piazza del Duomo since the 16th century. This tower is a defining feature that gives the square its own character.
