by Diana75
The works to the future Palazzo dei Trecento started in 1185 and its destination was supposed to be a meeting hall for city's representatives.
The building was finished in 1268 and during the centuries the palace hosted the Tribunale dei Consoli, public meetings ("Concione") and the Council, that gave it the name of "Palazzo della Ragione".
The name of the palace was given by the Major Council which used to be made of 300 members.
The stairway rebuilt at the beginning of 1900 brings to the big hall dating from 13th century, entirely covered by frescos, divided in two parts, one used for meetings and exhibitions and the second for the council meetings.
The palace passed through an extensive restoration following the bombing on April 7, 1944, and can be visited from Tuesday to Saturday between 9:00 and 12:00.
