The Palazzo Ducale was built between 1775 and 1804 by Don Antonio Manca, Marquis of Mores and Lord of Usini.
From 1860 to 1878 it was the seat of the Prefecture first and then of the provincial administration, from 1878 it became the seat of the Municipality of Sassari which bought it in 1900.

Palazzo Ducale is a historic palace in Sassari built in the second half of the eighteenth century. Today it is the seat of the municipal administration.

The building was built in the period between 1775 and 1805 - by Lombard workers directed by the Piedmontese architect Carlo Valino - at the behest of Don Antonio Manca Amat, nephew of Diego to whom he owed the title of Marquis of Mores and who in 1775 had fief of the island of Asinara and the title of duke. However, he died a few months before seeing the building completed so that the first to settle there was his nephew, Don Vincenzo Manca Amat, Duke of Vallombrosa [1]. After him it was inhabited by other private individuals, then it was occupied by the Prefecture, later by the provincial administration and finally, in 1878, by the municipality of Sassari which took it over to the municipal patrimony.

From a social point of view, the construction of the new Doge's Palace expressed the need to strengthen the predominant role of the family towards the new emerging classes and in particular the "colony" of Genoese merchants who controlled the trade in food and livestock and which therefore it represented a fundamental and fearful element of the Sassari economy.
