During the first twenty years of the 18th century, the road system between Bergamo, Lovere and the entire Val Camonica was completely redesigned through the construction of a new road which, instead of crossing the historic center, ran along the lake shore.
Thanks to this intervention, a new urban structure was defined, divided into three squares: Piazza Vittorio Emanuele II, in the ancient administrative centre, the square of Moline today Piazza Garibaldi and finally the Piazza del Porto, home to the market now Piazza XIII Martiri.
Subsequently, towards the end of the century, the monuments to the protagonists of the Risorgimento, Vittorio Emanuele II, Garibaldi and the Fallen of all the wars, were erected in this last square, the work of Daniele Capitanio and Giacomo Sozzi.
Piazza XIII Martiri is certainly the busiest meeting place in the Borgo di Lovere, with a wide availability of public establishments.
In front of the square is the pier, the docking point for boats for the various destinations on Lake Iseo and where the InfoPoint - Tourist Office is also located.
