Painting exhibition "Il volto dell'800"

The Hall of Justice in Padua

The Hall of Justice in Padua

This Hall of Justice was built in 1218-19 with the specific aim of reorganizing trading markets and of creating the headquarters for justice administration.
Four external staircases take to the first floor. In the beginning the hall on the first floor was divided into three large rooms where justice was administered, plus the Seal and the Tax offices of the Commune located along the shortest sides, and the chapel of St. Prosdocimus.
The frescoes on the walls form one of the few, extremely rare astrological cycles that have survived to present day from the Middle Ages.
