The old town hall of Marta (VT), composed of two distinct and adjacent buildings, was demolished in 1926 and the current one was built in its place, completed in 1929 as can be read in the architrave of the central window on the first floor.
The project was drawn up by the engineer Daniele Manini while the facade was designed by the architect Fasolo, reported to the mayor by Corrado Ricci, general director of Fine Arts.
Above the door is set the travertine coat of arms of Pope Paul III Farnese, previously placed on the facade of the old town hall and recovered during the demolition works. During the renovation, the ancient "Porta grande della Strada della Marta" that led into the historic center was modified and was replaced by the current portico.

The stone arch that surrounded it is today clearly visible in a building at no. 141 of via Laertina. In the council chamber there is a valuable large painting by Wolf Voight that depicts, synthetically, the feast of the Madonna del Monte.
Under the portico of the town hall (which the Martani call Le Porte) there is, on the left, a large work in wood and plaster in bas-relief painted by Alberto Morucci, inaugurated in the early 90s, which also depicts the feast of the Madonna del Monte.
To the right and left of the town hall we find Palazzo Ciotti and Palazzo Tarquini, both from the 1500s.

Fishing Boats and Waterfront of Marta

Highlight • Settlement

Marta is a very beautiful fishing village that is not yet overcrowded in June. Very scenic especially at the west end with a view of the nets and boat.

View of Bisentina Island, Lake Bolsena

Highlight • Viewpoint

Lago di Bolsena is the largest volcanic lake (crater lake) in Europe. The lake lies in the previously volcanically active zone of the so-called Apparato Vulsinio. It fills a caldera that was formed by the collapse of underground magma chambers following powerful, explosive volcanic eruptions, an estimated 300,000 years ago
