Domus Municipalis - Two, down PIPs

Domus  Municipalis   -  Two,  down PIPs
A singular (enigmatic) building of Romanesque civic architecture, it is an eloquent extension of the medieval prison tower that it juxtaposes. Its construction was, most likely, in the first half of the 13th century, coinciding with the foundation of the cistern. The exact function of this building, even after research completed in the 20th century, is still largely unknown: it could have served as cistern, but there are doubts if this was its primary function.
We cannot rule out the hypothesis that the "salon" was used, as soon as it was finished, to hold meetings of the "good men". We know that in the first five hundred years there was an "effective municipalization (building) of Domus" (as shown in a 1503 document).
