DUOMO SQUARE

Monuments, Squares and Palaces
Piazza Duomo, ph. Pagani, Archivio Comune di Piacenza

It was created, such as it is now, at the half of the 16th century, under pope Papa Paolo III Farnese(1534-1549), who wanted to renew the city before the dukedoms of Parma and Piacenza were assigned to his son Pier Luigi. In the centre of the square a pillar coming from Palazzo Farnese has been raised. It supports a Madonna beneath which, at about 3 metres depth, a late roman jigsaw was found in 1859, during some excavations. In the square there are also the Cathedral and the Bishops Palace
