A	Asiyah Noemi Koso on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ A nice quiet square in the heart of Ravenna, but it is also a meeting point that unites the streets of the historic center and which often hosts events and shows. It is surrounded by beautiful palaces and historic buildings. Bordered by the town hall and the Baroque church, Piazza del Popolo is the main square of Ravenna. Its rich history is seen and felt at every turn. The Piazza del Popolo was built by the Venetians as the core of the renewal process carried out under the dominance of the Serenissima in the city of Ravenna. Following the example of Piazza Saint Mark in Venice, in 1483 two columns were erected on the square. The Saint Mark's Lion was placed on the top of the column next to the palace, while on the other stood the statue of Saint Apollinaris, patron saint of the city. In the square we find: the Palazzo Merlato, which was built during the fourteenth century where in ancient times the Da Polenta family resided. On the south side of the square we find the Rector of Romagna's palace built in 1295, later it became the Apostolic Palace and the seat of the Legate of Romagna. Along the perimeter of the square we also find the Palazzo dei Rasponi del Sale, the current headquarters of the Unicredit bank. An interesting building with Public clock (Orologio pubblico) is also on the square. During our stay we were able to attend performances by Ukrainian musicians and dancers. Nice atmosphere.
S	Steve Atkins-Steel on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The central square of the city. Quite long and thin. Some beautiful archetecture around, but I've seen better squares. Worth paying through definitely, but don't plan to spend too much time here!
