Site Features

The morning fruit market

Stalls from early until early afternoon, Monday to Saturday. Smaller and calmer than Erbe's.

The Peronio

The 16th-century column in the square, a survival of the days when markets were also where sentences were announced.

The Palazzo's north flank

The long arcaded side of the Palazzo della Ragione forms one entire edge of the square, with Sotto il Salone's shops beneath it.
