This notable monument was erected in 1330 and it was the house of the “city lord”.
The Palace underwent a substantial transformation over the years, culminating in the restoration done between 1912 and 1922 by the architect Gaspare Rastrelli.
On the ground floor there are three gothic frontal arches; from the middle arch hung a rope where criminals were hanged. Over the entrance were imprinted the symbols of the new lords of Rimini, the Malatesta. On the floor above, decorated with battlements, there are five smaller windows.
The building is located in the central Piazza Cavour, next to the Palazzo dell’Arengo, with which it is connected: the two buildings since 2020 have housed the contemporary art museum Palazzi dell’Arte Rimini.
