Palazzo Domus Nova, قصر في فيرونا، إيطاليا
Palazzo Domus Nova is a palace located in Piazza dei Signori in Verona, dating back to the 12th century. Its facade displays large windows and stone details that reflect the various renovations made over the centuries.
The palace was built in the 12th century as the seat of city administration and served multiple roles during Visconti rule and later under the Republic of Venice. A major collapse in 1511 led to extensive repairs, and the facade received its current appearance between 1660 and 1663 with three large arches.
The palace originally served as the residence and workplace of the Podestà, the chief administrator of the city. Later, it became home to judges during Venetian rule, which is why locals still call it the Palace of the Judges.
The palace can only be viewed from the outside, as it is now in private use following restoration work. The best views are from Piazza dei Signori directly, where you can easily see the stone details and arches of the facade.
A distinctive feature is the direct connection to Palazzo della Ragione through an arch that created a secret passage between the buildings. Atop the neighboring structure stands a statue of Enrico Noris, often overlooked by visitors but underlining the historical character of the square.
