Piazza Grande of Oderzo

Piazza Grande is the main square of Oderzo, in the province of Treviso, and since the Middle Ages it has been the center of the social, economic and religious life of the city. It is one of the most famous squares in the Veneto due to its particular stage shape, and is the backdrop to numerous cultural initiatives.

Piazza Grande, already named after Vittorio Emanuele II, is one of the most famous squares in the Veneto due to its particular stage shape, and is the backdrop to numerous cultural initiatives. The current appearance of the square is the result of a major restoration completed in 1993 designed by architect Toni Follina. In the eastern part of the square there is a figure-eight curve: commonly called "the sundial", it is actually a large analemma, which acts as a calendar thanks to the shadow of the central pinnacle of the Cathedral. Piazza Grande is overlooked by the Cathedral of San Giovanni Battista, the Torresin, the Loggia Comunale, the Torresòn and other historic buildings, including the Palazzo Saccomani and the historic Caffè Commercio.
