This Palazzo was home to a very important institutional figure of the city during the Middle Ages: The Capitano del Popolo (<b>Captain of the People<\/b>).<br \/>\nHe was a very popular figure in Italy and in other towns and played an important role in representing the people. Later the building was home to another important figure in the history of Orvieto: the Mayor. In the past this palace has been used even as the city popular theatre.<\/p>\n<p>The palace today is a beautiful building which has undergone changes and upgrades in recent years. Today the building houses a fully equipped conference center and it is not open for tourist visits.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1655792810990{margin-top: 10px !important;margin-bottom: 10px !important;}&#8221;]<strong>Near Palazzo del Popolo<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.orvietoviva.com\/en\/torre-del-moro\/\">Torre del Moro<\/a> (60 mt)<\/li>\n<li>Museo Vie (100 mt)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]See other &#8220;medieval symbols&#8221;
