Priori Palace – Gubbio
The Priori Palace (or Praetorium or of the Podestà), current seat of the Municipality, occupies the eastern side of Piazza della Signoria because it is located in front of the known Palace of Consuls.
Designed probably by M. Gattapone in 1349, it was originally intended as seat of the Podestà, head of the executive power, as opposed to the Palace of Consuls (its original twin) that was seat of the legislative power.
It was not completed during the following years for different economic and social reasons because of the plague’s spread.
