Palazzo Pretorio

Palazzo Pretorio

Tracing the origins of Fiesole also means getting to know its public buildings, such as Palazzo Pretorio, the seat of the Fiesole municipality.

Built in the 14th century and rebuilt in 1463, after the administrative reform of Pietro Leopoldo (1774), the palace remained inactive for a long time and was sometimes used for various purposes according to the needs. It was only in 1910, when the new boundaries of the Municipality of Fiesole were defined (Law No. 345 of July 7, 1910), that the Palace was definitively chosen as the municipal seat.​
