Located in the heart of the city, Piazza Maggiore is first and foremost home to the Palazzo Comunale. To the left stands the elegant, late-Gothic-style Palazzo dei Notai (14C-15C). Around the square, admire the unfinished façade of San Petronio, the Portico del Pavaglione, the arcades of the Palazzo dei Banchi (16C), and the beautiful Renaissance-style Palazzo del Podestà.
