History

The town hall was built in 1479 in Renaissance style. The facade was renewed by Master Peregrinus between 1564 and 1565, the Renaissance loggia was also built at that time. In 1761 the building was devastated by fire and it was in a state of disrepair afterwards. It was utilized again in the 19th century as school.
