    The origins of the palace, known also as the Palazzo degli Anziani, date back to the 13th century, when the city became an important and flourishing town with a need of a representative building for the city officials. Very interesting feature of the palace is the pathway that connects the palace with the cathedral over a bridge. It is an elegant building and a viewpoint at the central square.

    The Palazzo Pretorio was built in the 14th century. The building is occupied by the city court now so I'm not sure if one can tour it.

    The building owes its name to the local tradition that it was the seat of the Captain, directly elected by the people, who has the military powers to protect the interests of the city. This tradition was discontinued in the 14th century when the magistrate from Florence replaced the Captain. The structure in Via Stracceria undergone so many refurbishments and changes but the traces of its original presence are still visible.
