Site Features

The astronomical clock

1344, rebuilt 1428. Shows hours, lunar phase and zodiac -- with Libra missing, which is the detail everyone remembers.

The Loggia del Consiglio

A 1523 Renaissance loggia along the north side, and the square's best building.

The evening

Café tables fill the open middle from about six. The square is at its most used, and most Paduan, after dark.
