The palazzo was most likely built by the Neri della Greca family in the 13th century. The palazzo had the particularly important role of being the seat of the "Capitano del Popolo", one of the most important figures in the Middle Ages, who was the representative of the people and played the most important role in public life, alongside the consuls and the mayor.

I believe the palace is a conference center and not open to the public. Be sure to go up the stairs to the balcony! This is a wonderful view over the square.
