It stands opposite the Fiorucci Palace, on its portal we can admire a second coat of arms of the Fiorucci Family. It comes from the small church in Collantico and was added to the portal a hundred years ago. The palace was built, between 1498 and 1502,  on a part of the central section of the Lombard fortress. It was commissioned by the Lord archpriest Giulio Vitelli, to be used as seat for the arch pretorship representation. Later on, from the XVII century to the year 1888 it was used by the order of the Knights of Malta. At that time it became the seat of the town hall of Pietralunga. Inside the building, in the main rooms,  some fireplaces are still preserved with carvings displaying the Coat of Arms of the Vitelli, the most important family who ruled Città di Castello in the Renaissance period, between the XV and XVI centuries.
