The peoples' palace, also called the Palazzo della Ragione was built in the last decade of the 12th Century, in typical Broletti style, with their surrounded courtyards where popular assemblies would be held. The palace had four angular towers, with only the Lamberti and via Cairoli towers still remaining today. In the beautiful Roman courtyard called the "old market" as in the 15th Century the cereal market would be held here. In one corner we find the stairs of reason in red, Veronese marble, built around 1446-52 in a transitional style, somewhere between Gothic and Renaissance. The façade alternates between tuff and brickwork but the windows were altered in the 15th Century and decorated with Venetian lions which were later chiselled out in 1797. Other changes were made after 1875 to adapt the building to the court of Assisi.
