Red neo-Renaissance buildings frame the square on three sides, with the fourth open to the sea. It is a venue for summer festivals and concerts. As an audio stop, it works best if you slow down here: look for the stonework, the surrounding streets and the way locals move around the landmark. It gives the route a clear story beat between the postcard sights and the smaller discoveries nearby.
Come on a summer evening: this Venetian-style square hosts open-air concerts.
