Palazzo Comunale, Gothic town hall in Piazza Grande, Montepulciano, Italy.
The Palazzo Comunale stretches vertically across multiple levels, featuring a pointed arched entrance and a high tower that defines the town center skyline.
The construction of Palazzo Comunale began in the 14th century, followed by modifications in the 15th century under the direction of architect Michelozzo.
The building reflects the architectural influence of Florence's Palazzo della Signoria, demonstrating the strong connection between Montepulciano and the Medici family.
Visitors can access the tower for 5 euros and climb 67 steps to reach a viewing platform that overlooks the Tuscan countryside.
From the tower's observation point, people can see Lake Trasimeno, the pre-Apennine peaks, and the Orcia Valley extending toward Siena.
