The building in Venetian style was probably built in the 14th century and served the Lords of Spilimbergo to conduct business with vassals or to gather men-at-arms; it was a mandatory stop for travelers and merchants coming from the Tagliamento ford. Over the centuries, it was used for various purposes: from "domus comunis", the center of the inhabited area, to a venue for notarial acts and later a place for trials. The comital coat of arms is clearly visible on the corner facing the square, indicating the undisputed ownership of the Spilimbergo family.

The Pergola then became the granary of the Lords and a place where goods were stored and inspections carried out: on a column of the portico, the Macia, the ancient unit of length, is still engraved, which was used to check the regularity of transactions.

Palazzo la Loggia was also used as a prison until 1812 when it was ceded to the Società filodrammatica, which transformed it into an elegant theater. In 1865, the building was raised by one floor to accommodate another tier of boxes.

It was renovated after the significant damage suffered from the 1976 earthquake.
