Lonely Planet review for Palazzo dei Priori

The 13th-century Palazzo dei Priori, the oldest seat of local government in Tuscany, is believed to have been a model for Florence’s Palazzo Vecchio. Highlights are a fresco of the Crucifixion by Piero Francesco Fiorentino on the staircase, the magnificent cross-vaulted council hall and a small antechamber on the 1st floor giving a bird’s-eye view of the piazza below.
