Construction of the Praetorian or Praetor's Palace which closes the southern side of the main town square in Koper-Capodistria began in 1348 and continued until 1380. Building of the new town hall started in 1452-3 when the left wing of the palace and the porch leading to the picturesque Calegaria (Čevljarska street) were erected. The right wing was completed in the 1480s and the beautiful balconied Renaissance 'Porta del Corte' was built in 1506. | Construction of the Praetorian or Praetor's Palace which closes the southern side of the main town square in Koper-Capodistria began in 1348 and continued until 1380.

During the Baroque period the 'Platea comunis' (main town square) acquired its present-day aspect, and the reconstruction of the Praetor's Palace facade in 1664 gave the palace a more sophisticated and harmonious appearance.
Recent reconstruction works were undertaken by Koper-Capodistria Urban Municipality with funding from the Phare EU programme, and concluded in 2001. The venue functions both as a town hall and as a space for exhibitions and other cultural events co-ordinated by Koper-Capodistria Tourist Information Centre.
