On the corner of the main square and the Via Garibaldi, the courthouse of Porto Manacore stood facing the palace of Frederick II of Swabia. It was a bleak, five-storied building: on the ground floor the prison, on the second the police station, on the third the courtroom, on the fourth the apartment of the Chief of Police, on the fifth that of the Judge.
