Around this harmonious Renaissance-style square stand some of the most attractive buildings in Udine: the loggia del Lionello (this old town hall owes its name to the architect who built it) built in 1457 and the 16C loggia di San Giovanni, standing opposite at a slightly higher level. It has a Renaissance portico surmounted by a clock tower. In front are columns of St Mark and Justice, statues of Hercules and Cacus and a fountain.
