Piazza Grande

Piazza Grande is the beating heart of Arezzo, one of the most fascinating squares in Tuscany. With its irregular shape and unique slope, it tells centuries of history through the surrounding buildings, witnesses of different eras. Originally the site of the city market, during the Renaissance it became the hub of civic life.

Here is the majestic Palazzo della Confraternita dei Laici, an architectural masterpiece that combines Gothic and Renaissance elements. Piazza Grande is also famous for the Giostra del Saracino, a historic knightly competition held twice a year, and for the famous Fiera Antiquaria, which has enlivened this charming corner of Arezzo every first weekend of the month since 1968.

Grazie alle influenze architettoniche medievali e rinascimentali, accentuate dagli interventi voluti da Cosimo I de’ Medici, Piazza Grande rappresenta una tappa imperdibile per chi visita la città. Se stai programmando un soggiorno in Tuscany, puoi vivere l’autenticità di Arezzo scegliendo un B&B o un affittacamere nel centro storico, immerso nell’atmosfera unica di questa città d’arte.
