The complex is located between Piazza Erbe, Piazza dei Signori, Via Dante and Via Cairoli, thus occupying the southeast corner of what must have been the ancient Roman Court – namely Piazza Erbe. Two recent plaques are walled to the outside of the palace, indicating two discordant dates for construction of the palace (1138 and 1193). In 1218 a terrible fire involved much of the Palace, but it was rebuilt the following year. During Venetian domination, the Palace became the seat – in addition to the City Administration, of the civil and penal courts, the prison, the College of Notary Publics – with its own Chapel, which still exists in the northeaster corner of the Palace – of the silk customs offices, the Fiscal Chamber, the public granaries, the salt deposits, the Office of Health and others. In 1447 the so-called “Stairway of the Accounting Building” was built inside the courtyard, under Lamberti Tower.
