Arezzo - Palace of the Loggias

(Local Name: Palazzo delle Logge) The Palazzo delle Logge (Palace of the Loggias) closes the northeast side of the Piazza Grande. Built between 1573 and 1581 to the design of Giorgio Vasari, it takes its name from the wide loggias opening on to the square. In front of the palazzo is a reproduction of the Petrone, a pillory in which delinquents were exposed to public infamy.
