This small square is located directly at the Torre del Borgognone (ex Torre di San Silvestro). In addition, the church Chiesa del Gesù (San Silvestro) is right on this square. There are two restaurants that invite you to enjoy.

In the second half of the 13th century, Piazza del Gesù was still the civic and social hub of Viterbo. It was the place where justice was administered, people gathered, and the market was also held.
The Church of San Silvestro, known as the Church of the Gesù, features the typical Romanesque architecture of Viterbo, with its bell gable. The church is mentioned in documents dating back to 1080.
Its current appearance is due to the restoration work of 1915 which aimed to bring the building back to its Romanesque forms.
