Palazzo della Ragione

Dating back to 1218, Palazzo della Ragione, which was once the courthouse, is one of the most famous monuments of Padua.

The enormous architectural value that the building already had was enhanced by cycle of frescoes attributed to Giotto in the fourteenth century, which were partially destroyed due to a fire and fortunately later restored.

Over the centuries, Palazzo della Ragione has maintained its central role in the public life of the city of Padua: today the great hall of the building hosts exhibitions and cultural events.
