Verona - Piazza dei Signori
The short street to the left of the Torre del Comune in Verona runs east into the Piazza dei Signori (a name recalling the rule of the Scaligers), surrounded by palaces. In the center is a monument to Dante (1865). Recent excavations have uncovered Roman mosaics and other remains.

Town Hall
The Palazzo della Ragione (Town Hall), on the south side of the Piazza dei Signori, was begun in 1193 but much altered in later centuries; the main front is Renaissance (1524). In the courtyard are a Gothic grand staircase (1446-50) and the entrance to the Torre del Comune. Also in the square are a battlemented tower and the Palazzo dei Tribunali, formerly the Palazzo del Capitano with a Renaissance doorway by Michele Sammichele, converted in 1530-31 from a Scaliger Palace. On the east side of the square we find the Palazzo del Governo (Prefecture), originally another Scaliger palace, rebuilt in the 16th century (doorway by Sammichele, 1532).
