Welcome
to the official
tourist information site
of Cervia Municipality
This square is in the historical centre of Cervia and its origin dates back to the birth of the New Town in 1697.
It was built entirely with cobblestones, which were then replaced by asphalt in the 1950s, it has a roughly squared shape, as it was in the centre of New Cervia's quadrangular plan.
In May 1999 it was decided to realize a linear, rigid geometry, formed by three types of material, the cobblestones, as a reminder of the past, large, irregular flint and trachyte stones in order to give the design a greater geometrical continuity and make the town centre easily accessible to pedestrians and cycles.
The Cathedral and the Town Hall, opposite one-another, both overlook the square, according to a very modern town planning concept for that time, which put them on the same level of importance.
Very interesting as well are the fountain, which has been recently restored, and the frescoes on the ceiling of the nearby Banca Popolare, a former noble house.
