Palazzo della Magnifica Patria di Salo

Located on the lakefront of Salò, the palace of the Magnifica Patria, now home to the municipality, is a significant chapter in the history of the lakeside town.

The Magnifica Patria initially included a confederation of thirty-six municipalities of the Brescia coast of Lake Garda and Val Sabbia, which was established for political and administrative purposes in the fourteenth century and to this period, must be traced back to the first building of the palace.

Traces of this event, which also involved the advent of a supervisor, they are found in the numerous effigies representing the lion of San Marco scattered throughout the palace and under the loggia, which was annexed to the original complex and also served to connect the palace with the residence of the podestà.
