Palazzo dei Priori - Volterra |
Welcome
Piazza di Priori shares its name with the main building that faces it: the Priori palace, since the 13th century, the site of the Municipality of Volterra.
In 1208, the elders and the people of Volterra decided on the construction of a new palace that would face this plaza and that would be a worthy and imposing site for the Municipality, the Priori palace.
The bulk of the building dominates the entire plaza; it became inhabitable a few years after the 1208 decision, but it was completed only in 1257, with the construction along the via Turezza of a second building called the rear house. Above the main body, consisting of a squat parallelepiped, rises a high tower that makes the palace look more like a fortification than a public building.
