Piazza Giacomo Matteotti is a central square in the Friulian city of Udine in northern Italy.

In the middle of the 13th century - when Udine was granted market rights - the city's central market, which until then had been held in Via Mercatovecchio, was moved here. It was first called Piazza del mercato nuovo. After the construction of the church Chiesa di San Giacomo, the square was given a new name, Piazza San Giacomo. The locals also call it Plàzze San Jacum.

“Here we are standing in a piazza that, despite its size, gives the visitor a feeling of unity. All around there are narrow house facades lined up close together, the different window shapes simply seem to be irregularly distributed.”

The church Chiesa di San Giacomo, located on the western side of the square, was built in 1378 and expanded in 1399. There was probably a chapel dedicated to Saint San Lorenzo on the site in earlier times.

The column on the western side of the square - in the immediate vicinity of the church - shows Mary with the child. It is dated to 1487 and attributed to the artist Carlo da Carona.

Today's namesake is Giacomo Matteotti, who was murdered by Italian fascists in 1924.

There is nothing better than sitting in one of the many restaurants or cafés in the evening and enjoying the atmosphere.
