Piazza Maggiore Site Features

The frescoed facades

Painted exteriors from the sixteenth-century rebuilding, surviving in unusual numbers around the square and along Via Mezzaterra below.

Tullio Lombardo’s fountain

A Venetian sculptor's work of 1520, in a small alpine town -- a direct trace of Venice's investment after 1510.

The stepped levels

The square works as terraces and stairs on a slope, which gives it a character no flat piazza has.

The castle above

The Castello di Alboino closes the upper side and is a five-minute climb.
