Among the various rooms in which you can celebrate your wedding, the “Salone del Tormento” deserves special attention, inside the Palazzo Pretorio, a complex of buildings, whose first structure dates back to a period between the twelfth and thirteenth centuries.
This Palace, located on top of the hill of Vicopisano, whose main body built in stone verrucana must be probably identified with a domus gentilizia of the twelfth century, came profoundly modified and enlarged following the Florentine conquest of 1406, when it became a court and residence of the vicar who practiced civil and criminal justice in the name of Florence.
The main interventions concerned the construction of the vicar’s residence on the main floor of the building, the construction of the court building and the prisons connected to it, both on the ground floor and in a second memento on the second and third floors, and finally the creation of a series of offices in which to carry out administrative functions.
