A clock and a very fine mechanical datary on the second level, were added in 1827. The building that had been a property of Cavarrettas, was bought by the town in order to house the Senate. The Pisa Loggia was one of the place dedicated to the trade business in Trapani that, thanks to its lively port, received merchants from all over the Mediterranean Sea. These Loggias were used as actual consulates: each country or city had its one there were a Loggia for any of the maritime Republics. The main street where today are beautiful shops and wonderful buildings, is commonly called Loggia probably one of the oldest word used in Trapani and it point out the place where society life takes place.
