The Palazzo della Ragione is a Renaissance town hall building in Padua, in the Veneto region of Italy. The building, with its great hall on the upper floor, is reputed to have the largest roof unsupported by columns in Europe. The Palazzo was begun in 1172 and finished in 1219. In 1306 Fra Giovanni, an Augustinian friar, covered the whole with one roof.
