The Town Hall, historically known as Palazzo Priori, is one of the most iconic buildings in the historic center. It spans an entire side of Piazza Donato Iezzi—the town’s main square—and features three stories with a small tower at its center, architecturally harmonizing with the nearby Church of San Salvatore.
Its history reflects the town’s urban evolution: the building was constructed in 1779 following the conversion of the portico of the Church of San Salvatore. The walls built at that time to enclose the portico still form the main façade facing the square today. The name “Priori” derives from the family of the town’s archpriests, specifically from Archpriest Priori, who in 1703 oversaw the renovation of the Church of Maria SS. di Loreto.
The town’s coat of arms is displayed on the façade, featuring a black bull on a blue field—a symbol that, according to the founding legend, guided the inhabitants during their flight from the Saracen raids of the 9th–11th centuries (and which gives the town its name: Torino = little bull).
Today it houses the municipal administration: representative offices, council chamber, and administrative offices. Open to visitors during public office hours.
Municipal office hours: Mon, Wed, Fri 9:00 AM–12:00 PM · Tue, Thu 9:00 AM–12:00 PM / 3:30 PM–5:30 PM. PEC: [email protected].
