    A clloser view onto the Town Hall. In the central axis on the second floor you can see an immured stone statue of a lion holding an open book,. An open book meant peace, and a closed one war. In the atrium, there are immured inscriptions and some of the old coats of arms from the old Town Hall, as well as the polygonal stone with quantity measures.

    The town hall is the most eye-catching building in Tartini square: It's a huge, monumental neo-Renaissance white building built between 1877 and 1879 by the Trieste architect Giovanni Ribetti. It really takes up one entire side of the square. To its side you can see the Law Courts.

    Photo 1 shows the Town Hall, an imposing building built in 1870 in a Neo-Renaissance style, while Piran was under Austrian rule. It replaced a former Town Hall built in the XIIIth under Venetian rule. On the second level, a Venice Lion holding an open book has been carved in order to remind the former building. In the Serenissima Republic of Venice, an open book means peace while a closed book would mean: war.

    Photo 2 is a close-up on the central columns, entirely carved in a baroque style.
