This is the biggest square, Sitting on top of the hill, in Arezzo. This is also location where they have the annual jousting medieval reenactment events. Will you look around, the surrounding buildings have all the coats of arms from different regions. It makes this location even more special. If you like the movie life is beautiful ( la vita e Bella) by Roberto Benigni, this location is also the background for many of the scenes from the movie. You can follow signs that are posted nearby, recounting the scenes and the conversations happened in the movie. If you’re only in Arezzo for a few hours, this is a must stop. Many restos and bars surrounding the square. Great location to lounge around for a drink or just sit on the steps people watching especially in the evenings.

(Translated by Google) Seen from the outside and peeked at something from the recess .. (very little) we did not book and there was no danger of finding a ticket! 😰😰😰 .. now this Covid takes away many beautiful things ... and large very spacious even to enter a little 'more people nn is that it changes a lot. Since we were 23 out of 23 seats on the bus, so much distance to me it doesn't seem like I was 😡 Sorry not to have seen the fresco by Piero della Francesca 😞 (Original) Visto esterno e sbirciato qualcosa dalla rientranza .. ( pochissimo) non abbiamo prenotato e non c’è stato pericolo trovare un biglietto!😰😰😰.. adesso questo Covid ci toglie tante cose belle ... e grande molto spaziosa anche entrare un po’ di più persone nn è che cambia tanto . Visto che nel bus eravamo 23 su 23 posti tanto distanziamento a me nn sembra che fossi 😡 Dispiace di non aver visto affresco Piero della Francesca 😞

Piazza Grande di Arezzo is the oldest piazza in the city and one of the most beautiful in Italy. the square is a mix of buildings of various ages that gives an evocative and scenographic look. Between the buildings that characterize the square, are worthy of mention the imposing Palazzo delle Logge, built in 1573 by Georgio Vasari (1511-1574), the palace is opened by an immense and beautiful colonnade on which are still old craftsmen shops and business activity. piazza is a place where you meet many antique shops and terraces where you can relax at a glass of wine or beer.

(Translated by Google) Really very beautiful and suggestive. So many corners to discover. Enchanting. (Original) Davvero molto bella e suggestiva. Tanti angoli da scoprire. Incantevole.

Arezzo, Tuscany. If ever in Tuscany I recommend this beautiful town 10/10. I travelled there by train from Florence. It can take about 2 hours to get there. I recommend staying the night. I missed a lot of places as I had to return back on the same day. Everything from architecture to food, hospitality really stand out here. And, if you don't like really crowded places, you'll enjoy this even more. 🙌😍

Surreal experience for me! My first time in Arezzo I am in love with this city

Very beautiful, definitely a must see spot in Arezzo.

Lovely square, with terraces for eating and drinking. The sun disappears behind the Palazzo della Fraternita, making shadows and sunlight move from west to east.

Beautiful place to visit with very old buildings. Very much worth a visit when in Arezzo.

Not bad. Beautiful square with lots of history behind.

Beautiful plaza and good place for a very relax afternoon coffee/tea.

Beautiful historical architecture well kept and arezzo there is plenty to see.

Outstanding frescoes!

Spectacular! A must-go indeed!

A piece of my heart will forever be in Arezzo. It is a wonderful slice of Italy, providing all the art and history, but off the over trod path if most tourists.

Beautiful square and church in the heart of Arezzo, the church features the frescoes from Piero della Francesca and in the square there are the liveliest and loveliest bars of town. There is also a contemporary art gallery and an amazing gelato place. Will definitely come back!

Interesting church, pity that the procedures to see churches and art nowadays has turned into an internet visit followed by a queue, pay a comparable high entrance fee and then see the paintings in, understandably dim light, questioning the value of an original visit compared to much more impressive web only visit.......

The pruce tag is high, 8 euros for 30 minutes. Depending on your love for Piero della Francesca make your choice. His ultimate masterpiece is there

Helpful and attentive staff and delicious food.

(Translated by Google) The Basilica of San Francesco is known for its architectural style (originally Romanesque, then Gothic following enlargements) and for a miracle that would have occurred in 1730. Inside the Basilica there is a reference to the Duomo, consisting of white marble bands and greens. The miraculous event dates back to 14 August 1730, when 351 consecrated hosts were stolen from the Basilica. Three days after the theft, on August 17, they were found intact and it was decided not to consume them. Since then, the hosts have been kept inside the pyx (the typical container used in churches, usually made of gold or precious metals) and have remained intact after almost three centuries (Original) La Basilica di San Francesco è nota per lo stile architettonico (originariamente romanico, poi gotico a seguito degli ingrandimenti) e per un miracolo che sarebbe avvenuto nel 1730. All’interno della Basilica si nota un rimando al Duomo, costituito dalle fasce di marmo bianche e verdi. L’evento miracoloso risale al 14 agosto 1730, quando furono rubate 351 ostie consacrate dalla Basilica. Tre giorni dopo il furto, il 17 agosto, furono ritrovate intatte e venne deciso di non consumarle. Da allora le ostie sono conservate all’interno della pisside (il tipico contenitore usato nelle chiese, di solito in oro o ri metalli preziosi) e si sono mantenute intatte a distanza di quasi tre secoli

Magical Place With Lots To Offer. Many stores. The park on the hill has a wonderful view and a very nice cafe

Lovely piazza surrounded by small antique shops and cafes. We visited early and were treated with quiet streets.

If you visit Arezzo, or travel close by, this is a place you should definitely visit. So much history in this medieval town, this is the main square where the Saracino takes place. Even the tower clock is unique, made in 1500, it takes track of the moon and sun cycles.

Beautiful Piazza in a town not over run with tourists.

Beautiful little town of Arrezo. Grand Piazza Grande!

Lovely place!!!

The antique market every first Sunday of the month is worthwhile to visit. 👌Even when it rains 😁

A very beautiful typical italian medieval square surrounded by majestic buildings

One of most beautiful and impressive squares I have ever seen. Almost deserted and under a light rain the place was almost magical: a beautiful portico, the spectacular apse of a church, an old well, some other great facades.

Nice place, quiet as was Arezzo in total. Plenty of bars and restaurants and the museum with clocktower was good.

nice piazza with resturants around. the streets very beautifull

Fantastic place to visit. Views, restaurants and many more!

Best at night, nice piazza very typical of a lot of Italian towns. Enjoy the old world charm and beauty.

It's hard to find appropriate words to describe Piazza Grande, the very heart of Arezzo's old town. Born and raised in Arezzo, I cannot fail to wander around Piazza Grande every time I come back. Every corner of this square is magnificent and full of history. The Vasarian Loggia, now filled with cosy café's and restaurants under its arcades; the hystorical Palazzo della Confraternita dei Laici, which hosted the Tribunal until few years ago; the old buildings topped by medieval towers and hosting craftsmen and antique shops along the street level. Furthermore, the square itself which is theatre, twice per year, to the magic "Giostra del Saracino" (a unique medieval tournament you must admire once in life), plus one of the oldest antique fairs of Europe (held the first Sunday of every month) and the colourful Christmas Market. If you have not been here yet, it's time to come! Benvenuti in Piazza Grande.

The main square in Arezzo , a very interesting place with a lot of history and too many antique stores on both sides. It is not flat , has a somehow diagonal ground and is very well maintained. Surrounded by many historical buildings such as churches and museums is also known from the famous Italian movie “la vita e bella” which was filmed there. 300 metres far is the Duomo and 500 the Basilique of San Fransiscus

Amazing place to relax, watch the beautiful people and enjoy a gelato. But do not lie down; the police will get you! 🙂

Beautiful piazza in the centre of Arezzo.... during Christmas period nice Tyrolese shops with nice lighting organised make the atmosphere great especially during night hours....!!!!

Popular piazza in Arezzo. A bit more tourist than other areas of town with more touristy shops than local. On the way a good visit between the main shopping area of town and the church.

Big plaza with some old palaces around. Plaza's on a funky slant which I found interesting. Restaurants are the priciest we've seen in Italy yet, including Rome, Florence, Pisa, Perugia, Orvieto.

Beautiful plaza in the middle of Arezzo. Pigeons flapping, dogs being walked and all kinds of people around. Surrounded by medieval churches and museums that we didn’t enter as it was late in the pm.

Very nice spot. We've learned that in Tuscany it can also pour cats and dogs ;)

Lively square, but better to visit cafés or restaurants further away from the main square.

So we went for the periodic Antique Market ) monthly) we bought 2 pieces. It was just fun and enjoyable and we brought our pooch. He loved it. I believe it's the biggest market in Italy.

Arezzo, just a beautiful town, here and there around the center you feel you are walking at medieval times

Visited during the Christmas period, beautiful

The Christmas Markets in Arezzo Italy. Each shop is a wooded Chalet. There are crafts, clothing and food stands. Very festive. Worth a visit.
