Magnificent Building

Excellent

The Podestà used to be the highest civil office for the government of the northern and central cities of medieval Italy. There are many palaces in these areas called "Palace of the Podestà". This one in Bologna was built around 1200, at the same time as Plaza Mayor to carry out public functions and as the headquarters for the Podesta and its officials. The current view of the palace is very different from the original one because of the later construction of King Enzo's Palace. It's a large building crossed by two streets which pass under the Podestà Voltone, under which stands the Tower dell'Arengo.

The tower's bell used to warn the village residents during extraordinary events. Under the Voltone del Podesta, an extraordinary acoustic effect allows visitors to talk to each other even in a low voice from opposite angles. The lower part of the palace is decorated with hundreds of different floral tiles.

The Palazzo del Podestà was built ...

Il Palazzo del Podestà venne costruita ...

Il Palazzo del Podestà venne costruita intorno al 1200 circa, quando venne costruita Piazza Maggiore, Venne edificato come palazzo pubblico e come punto di riferimento del podestà e i suoi funzionari. Era molto diverso allora, oggi il suo aspetto è caratterizzato anche dal Palazzo Re Enzo che venne costruito in un secondo momento. Spicca dalla costruzione la Torre dell'Arengo, la cui campana serviva per convogliare in piazza il popolo quando si svolgevano particolari eventi pubblici.

The Palazzo del Podestà was built around 1200, when it was built Piazza Maggiore, was built as a public building and as a reference point of the mayor and his officials. It was very different then, now its appearance is also characterized by the Palazzo Re Enzo, which was built at a later date. Stands out from building the Tower dell'Arengo, whose bell was used to convey to the streets when the people were held special public events.

Adoro questo posto.

Va visto assolutamente anche solo esternamente. Basta poco tempo per raggiungerlo in centro, si trova in piazza maggiore, adiacente piazza del Nettuno. Li i lebbrosi avevano modo di confessarsi.

I love this place, it must be seen absolutely only externally. It takes very little time to reach it in the center, it is located in Piazza Maggiore, adjacent Piazza del Nettuno. The lepers were able to confess.
