Palazzo del Capitano in Bagno di Romagna


Palace of the Captain in Bagno di Romagna

This is one of the most important and historically rich buildings in Bagno di Romagna. Its façade, which bears the coats of arms in stone of the Captains and Deputies who served here, is a reminder of the long domination of Florence in this part of Romagna from 1404 up until 1923 when the Municipality became part of the Province of Forlì. The palazzo has been at the heart of political power since the Middle Ages, when it was the residence of the Counts Guidi of Bagno; the Florentine government later made a number of alterations to the building to adapt it to new requirements and the coats of arms of the Captains that over time administered the territory are a clear reference to Florentine rule.

In the mid-nineteenth century, the palazzo became the town hall and then housed the barracks of the Royal Carabinieri and a district prison, while repeatedly undergoing profound alterations. The building was completely abandoned in the early 1950s and then acquired by the Town Council which undertook a series of renovations (1984, 1994). Now it houses the Library and the Historical Archives, the Tourist Information Office (IAT) and the Visitor Centre of the "National Park of the Casentino Forests, Mount Falterona and Campigna". The rooms on the first floor host regular exhibitions and conferences.
