Via Porta all’Arco, Volterra – Palazzo dei Priori
Image by ell brown
Heading up the Via Porta all’Arco in Volterra from the Porta all’Arco towards the Via dei Marchesi.
The road is paved and is quite steep. It reminded me of "Gold Hill" in Shaftesbury, England, UK. Roads like this sometimes cars were driven up or down them!
Plus there’s some bars on the way up.
View of the Palazzo dei Priori.
The Palazzo dei Priori is located in the historic centre of Volterra, in the homonymous square, in the province of Pisa . This is the oldest Tuscan municipal building.
The palace was also the primitive seat of the city art gallery , as in its rooms many paintings were admitted during the nineteenth century , until all the works were moved to the current location of Palazzo Minucci-Solaini .
The construction of the building was begun by the will of Ildebrando Pannocchieschi , count palatine of the Empire and the task was entrusted to the maestro Riccardo da Como in 1208 ; the construction progressed a bit slowly, even if the ground floor and part of the first floor were used around 1234; however, the factory had to be completed in 1257, as an epigraph in leonini hexameters walled in the building reminds us. The municipal building was built in the most important town square, close to the Duomo , which also overlooks the Palazzo Pretorio , the bishop’s palace , Palazzo Inghirami and other homes of the most influential families of the city.
The original name of the building was Domus Communis , that is, Palazzo del Comune and was used by the Elders as a residence. The original twenty-four Elders in 1283 were transformed into the eighteen Priori del Popolo and then reduced to the twelve People’s Defenders in 1289: the current name of the palace, of the Priors , is due precisely to the title that the Elders later assumed, following the example of similar offices of the municipality of Florence.
The palace is built entirely of stone and the façade is embellished with stringcourse cornices and is crowned with semi-circle merlons probably made in the sixteenth century . The façade, then, is decorated with enamelled terracotta plates that represent coats of arms of Florentine families: from the fifteenth century , Volterra was governed by Florentine Commissaries having entered the orbit of the lily city .
The structure is surmounted by a pentagonal tower with two embattled shelves, built around the 16th century and later rebuilt in its terminal part after the 1846 earthquake.
Today it is home to part of the municipal offices (registry office, mayor’s office, council hall, etc.), as well as temporary exhibitions.
The building has undergone changes over the centuries: the ground floor was open thanks to the three portals that can still be seen on the facade (the only one remaining is the current entrance) and accessed by a short staircase. Also on the ground floor there was a large atrium that served for meetings and meetings.
On the first floor there was the most representative room of the Palace, the Council Hall for the official meetings of the Municipality. Also on this floor there was a small room for smaller meetings and a small chapel.
The second floor was intended for the housing of the elders first and the priors later, with bedrooms, a large hall for meetings and meals and a room for meetings.
The rooms used for kitchens and storage for firewood were on the top floor and were served by a hoist located in the inner courtyard of the building.

This place was a real discovery for us – a world class botanical garden and outdoor education center with well labeled desert flora, display gardens showing how to use these plants in the home landscape, galleries of Southwestern Art, and a tea room serving some of the best lunchtime meals we found anywhere in Tucson.
Its own website says: "Award-winning Tohono Chul Park is where nature, art and culture connect. Named one of the World’s Great Botanical Gardens by Travel + Leisure and listed by National Geographic Traveler as one of the top 22 Secret Gardens in the U.S. and Canada, there is something for everyone. This oasis in the desert offers a respite from the hectic pace of daily life, provides an informative look at the region’s fascinating cultural traditions and its even more interesting flora and fauna, and is the perfect setting for an evening concert, special event or family wedding."
