Piazza del Popolo, or The People’s Square, is one of the main Ascoli Piceno attractions. It is the most beautiful square in the city and is among the most beautiful in all of Italy. The square is dominated by the majestic and imposing Palazzo dei Capitani and the Church of San Francesco and is framed by the architectural beauty of a series of porticoes. This square has played a central role in the life and history of the city. It is the direct descendant of the Roman forum, the central location of a city’s activities.

It is rectangular in shape and paved in travertine, which gives is a warm, bright, welcoming aspect. When it rains, furthermore, the travertine assumes a mirror-like effect. The square was designed and constructed in the early 1500s and it was also in this year that the square was framed with porticoes and arches supported by columns. The square and the buildings surrounding it have a distinctive Renaissance style, and the entire area is often called the city’s “living room” for its harmonic architectural composition and its elegance.
