Description
The Palazzo Pubblico (city hall) is a palace in Siena, Tuscany, central Italy. Construction began in 1297 to serve as the Republic of Siena's government. The outside of the structure is an example of Italian medieval architecture with Gothic influences. The lower story is stone while the upper crenellated stories are made of brick. In the center is the coat of arms of The House of Medici which consists of five red balls and one blue on a gold shield. This emblem is prominently displayed on buildings all over Florence and Tuscany (including the City Hall of Siena) which have Medicean connections or which were financed with Medici money.
