Facts and practical information

Ancona's Palazzo degli Anziani has been the city's ancient municipal seat since the 13th century. It is located in Piazza Stracca, known until a few decades ago as "Piazza del Comune," opposite the Gesù Church. In 2011 it returned to be the seat of the city council, after a hiatus that lasted from 1945 to 2010, a period when the council met in Palazzo del Popolo. Along with the latter, in which the council still meets and the mayor has his cabinet, the Palazzo degli Anziani is once again the municipal seat, returning to the role for which it arose in the Middle Ages.
