Broletto

TIME : 2016/2/18 21:24:21

The polychromatic Broletto, or medieval town hall, sits right beside Como's towering duomo . Unusually, it butts right up against the cathedral and is very much overwhelmed by it – the Broletto was built in 1215, but shortened in 1477 to make room for enlargements to the cathedral (a singular defeat for lay power).
