About
Palazzo del Popolo, also called Palazzo del Priori or Podesta, is a Gothic architecture civic palace in Todi, region of Umbria, Italy.
The palace was erected in 1213-1228, thus decades before the adjacent Palazzo del Capitano. The wide staircase that serves as a bridge into the main council room was added in 1267 by the Podestà Pandolfo Savelli. The orientation of the main facade was established in the 16th century. The palazzo was extensively refurbished in the 19th century, which added the merlons to the rooflines of two buildings in this piazza.
