Palazzo Municipale of Chioggia

The Palazzo Municipale is the Town Hall of Chioggia, located on Corso del Popolo, the main street of the Venetian city.

The construction of the building, designed in 1828 by the engineer De Paoli, began in October 1839 in the same place where the Praetorian Palace had previously stood.
