Palazzo Comunale

Cocconato's town hall is a rare piece of Gothic civic architecture in Piedmont: a 15th-century brick palazzo whose pointed-arch porticoes follow the line of Via Roma, its tall windows framed in decorated terracotta. Behind it lies the Cortile del Collegio, named after a grammar school founded here in 1754. At Christmas the floodlit façade is the backdrop to nativity scenes set up around the village.
