Facts and practical information

Piazza della Loggia, or more simply Piazza Loggia, is one of Brescia's main squares and a symbolic place of the Brescian Renaissance.

Built from the 15th century onward, it has an overall rectangular shape, bordered along its perimeter by a series of historic buildings including the 16th-century Palazzo della Loggia, seat of Brescia's municipal council, as well as the two monti di Pietà old and new. On the eastern side of the square, however, stand the arcades and the tower with the 16th-century astronomical clock.
