This building behind me is the Palazzo Della Ragione and it was built in 1218.
It is enormous in size and the roof looks like a massive upturned ship that houses one massive roof. There is a great wooden horse inside that looks like a child's toy against the size of the room itself. All of the 217 linear meters of walls are covered in astrological Frescoes And the great ceiling was once a tribute to the heavens complete with stars and planets before it was replaced with what is visible now after a great fire. The ground floor accommodates shops and craftsman's workshops, which naturally join the markets in the two adjacent squares.
