The Palazzo Ducale
Situated opposite the Plaza de Ferrari, Palazzo Ducale is the former headquarters of the urban magistrates. It has been renovated many times since it was built in the 12th century to the extensive restoration that took place in 1992. The outside, including a trompe l'oeil, is impressive. Currently the palace is the main venue for exhibitions and hosts concerts and conferences. Entrance to the Palazzo Ducale is free, but access to the museum (Chapel Ducale, the Grand Council, etc..) comes at a cost.
