The ancient Jury Palace was built on part of the land of the neighbouring new Mother Church, sold for this purpose in 1720.
The building originally had three entrance doors and as many balconies and corbels decorated with animal heads.
The upper loggia of the Belvedere was decorated with stone sculptures representing the cardinal virtues.
In 1888, at the behest of the then Mayor Andrea Vaccaro, the building was completely redesigned by the architect Carlo Sada so that it could be used as the Town Hall at the end of the 19th century.
The building is made of limestone from Palazzolo Acreide, while the main façade is in cut stone, with a high plinth in lava stone from Militello.
It is built on three levels, with three large arches and the main entrance on the street level, on the second level three large windows with balconies and niches with female figures, on the third level three more large windows and two arched windows.
The clock at the top of the building comes from the Mother Church.
