Palazzo Pallotta, seat of the Town Hall, stands in the center of Caldarola and forms a building complex of great importance together with the collegiate church of San Martino; the square in front of it is designed in its architectural layout, probably conceived with a single project to be closed on three sides by arcaded buildings, as suggested by the fresco in the Council room (called the Hall of Cardinals Pallotta).
The town coincides with the castle: a single entrance door, windows and bobbins at the corners, all surrounded by walls to which a cylindrical tower and various square-based turrets hinge. The castellar evocation in the entrance is extraordinary. The mighty buildings cut by doors and small windows are set on large arches or, upon entering, by a high gallery above the arches of the street.
A careful search also reveals a circle of walls on a lunette as soon as you enter, Nobile da Lucca painted the Virgin and the patron saints of the people in vivid colors. It is a small painting from the early 1500s that perhaps recalls certain heads emerging in the "extra moenia" church of the castle. In the apse of the church there are three frescoes that are difficult to read because they are consumed: a Saint with a pointed halo, a Madonna with Child and an Adoration of the Magi.
