A 'Broletto' is a medieval meeting hall of Lombardian cities. It can be encountered in various places of that province, but maybe the most famous till now is the 'Broletto' of the city of Como. A rectangular building with arches, open to all sides and attached to the northern side of the Duomo, the city's cathedral. It is an attractive multicolor construction with different kind of stones and there are several information boards, also in English, telling about the history of this fascinating secular building. From under its arches there are beautiful views towards the Piazza del Duomo in front.
