Palazzo del Bargello, Gubbio

It now houses an exhibition or Museo della Balestra (crossbow-men), celebrated with a yearly festival.

Across the street is the small 13th-century church of San Giuliano, that gave name to a gate near here and this quarter of the city.

The palace was erected in the circa 1302 to house the city police captain and offices.

[1] Of note, the small piazza in front has a nondescript fountain topped with the five mountains and a lily, a heraldic symbol of Gubbio.

It has been a local tradition, mostly for visitors that a person who orbits the fountain three times, then douses or washes himself with its water, can be awarded, at a cost, the Patente di Matto.
