State Rooms, Rubens Room, Boscoli Room, Globe Room
Thanks to a glorious globe, ancient rooms and an encounter with Rubens, a visit to Palazzo dei Priori becomes unforgettable.
Piazza del Popolo is the heart of Fermo. Characterised by its ancient buildings and their present-day functions (the Town Hall, the Library, the Art Gallery), it safeguards the history of the city under the watchful eye of Sixtus V, whose statue dominates the façade of Palazzo dei Priori. The majestic sculpture, created in 1588 by the Tuscan artist Accursio Baldi, known as Sansovino, bears witness to the admiration and gratitude of the citizens towards the Pontiff, who had been Bishop of Fermo from 1571 to 1577.
Built at the end of the 14th century by uniting two previous buildings, Palazzo dei Priori was refurbished in the first half of the 15th century and completed in 1525. The double staircase joins under a small entrance portico that gives access to the city’s main museum complex.
