Carousel in Piazza della Repubblica

Explore Piazza della Repubblica and its famous carousel

Visit this charming historical square that has actually a rectangular shape and was the Jewish Ghetto back in the 16th century, and admire the magnificent architecture all around you.

This square has always been the actual center of the city since the Roman era. Take your time to look around and discover new details on the buildings, and if you get tired, just have a quick espresso in one of the historical cafés that you'll find there. The best time to capture dreamy pictures of the carousel and the architecture is when the sun is starting to set and the light looks like golden shimmer.
