About
Datos rápidos: Cobblestones, Renaissance facades, and café terraces give the main square the feel of an open-air living room where locals linger over coffee and musicians drift through the crowd. Visitors often catch an old clock tower chiming above lively markets, and seasonal festivals pack the calendar with unexpected concerts, food stalls, and costume parades.
Destacados: At golden hour the square's worn limestone cobbles glow honey-gold, and you can hear wooden shutters clack as vendors arrange trays of smoked sardines and jars of fig jam. A quirky local custom has couples circle the central well three times while an accordionist named Marko plays a slow polka and the crowd tosses tiny sugared fritule into the air for laughter and luck.
Insider tips
- Wear comfortable shoes, paving is uneven and can be slippery when wet.
- For photos, stand near the southern edge facing the City Loggia to capture ornate facades and people activity.
- Avoid midday in July and August; instead visit early or after 18:00 when temperatures drop and performers arrive.
- Skip the most expensive cafés on the square, walk two blocks inland for better coffee prices and local bakeries.
