Description
The Palace of Justice, whose construction began in 1937 and was inaugurated in 1953, is the work of architect Francesco Fichera and stands in the central Piazza Verga.
The facade of the building is reminiscent of architectural motifs of the eighteenth century in Catania, reworked in a twentieth-century style, and the interior contains frescoes by Carmelo Comes.
In front of the entrance to the main hall stands the imposing bronze statue by the Catania sculptor Mimì Maria Lazzaro representing Justice.
The court and its offices, which had been housed in a section of the Palazzo Tezzano since 1844, were transferred there after the inauguration, starting in 1953.
