In the historic centre of Appignano, the Palazzo Comunale (Town Hall) is one of the places that best testifies to the village's civic history.
Overlooking the town square, it has been the institutional heart of the community for centuries and one of its oldest buildings. The current structure dates back to 1812, when the building was rebuilt after a long period of decline and numerous unfinished works. The building presents a balanced and sober façade, marked on the ground floor by a three-arched loggia leading to a cross-vaulted portico, in line with the public architectural style of the Marche region. Over the centuries, the building has undergone transformations that have changed its original appearance, while maintaining its central role in the public life of Appignano.
Today, in addition to hosting the town's administration, the Town Hall houses the Terracotta and Ceramics Collection, an exhibition space dedicated to a craft tradition that has made the village a point of reference in the Marche region. A visit to the Town Hall offers a unique opportunity to discover the institutional history and cultural identity of Appignano, naturally fitting into a tour of ceramic workshops, historic architecture and the rolling hills of the surrounding countryside.
