Sight 4: Palazzo degli Anziani

Show sight on map

The Palazzo degli Anziani in Ancona has been the ancient municipal seat of the city since the thirteenth century. It is located in Piazza Stracca, known as "Piazza del Comune" until a few decades ago, in front of the Church of the Gesù. In 2011 it returned to being the seat of the city council, after a parenthesis that lasted from 1945 to 2010, a period in which the council met at Palazzo del Popolo. Together with the latter, in which the council still meets and the mayor has his cabinet, the Palazzo degli Anziani is once again the municipal seat, returning to the role for which it was built in the Middle Ages.
