Of extraordinary beauty, it is worth making some effort to reach the Palazzo Pretorio crossing on foot the village of Buggiano Castello.
It is one of the best preserved and most representative medieval civil architecture in Valdinievole.

The interior of Palazzo Pretorio

On the facade, recently restored, are the 57 coats of arms of the podestà who led the town between the fourteenth and seventeenth century.
On the ground floor there were rooms decorated with frescoes, of which only fragments remain. Once there was no division into several rooms, but a single room with a large octagonal pillar in the center.
In the basement are visible brick vaults, probably the environments that are here are the oldest, perhaps of Roman origin.

The very low times suggest the use of space as a prison.
On the first floor there is a beautiful room overlooking the square with mullioned windows and used
for conferences, events and ceremonies.

The facade with its 57 coats of arms

On the facade stands out the coat of arms of the town that depicts the going ox on the left, on which is leaning the Florentine Lily.
Most of the coats of arms are in stone and you recognize those of different families such as the Salutati, the Strozzi, the Peruzzi, is also still visible the coat of arms of the Ghibellines with the characteristic eagle with outstretched wings.
