Palazzo Pretorio, Renaissance palace and city library in Arezzo, Italy.
The Palazzo Pretorio stands as a large complex created by merging several buildings, featuring numerous coats of arms on its stone facade.
The palace originated in the 13th century from the properties of Guelph families including Albergotti, Lodomeri, and Sassoli, later serving as a prison until 1926.
The building houses the Arezzo City Library, containing a substantial collection inherited from the Library of Fraternita de Laici established in 1609.
Located on Via dei Pilati in central Arezzo, the library opens daily from 8:30 AM to 7:30 PM, offering public access to its extensive collections.
The palace walls preserve fragments of frescoes dating from the 15th to 17th centuries, visible throughout the current library spaces.
