Apse of Santa Maria della Pieve, the old Tribunal Palace, and the Lay Fraternity
Piazza Grande
Arezzo, February 2021
“The Piazza Grande is the most noteworthy medieval square in the city, opening behind the 13th century Romanesque apse of Santa Maria della Pieve. Once the main marketplace of the city, it is currently the site of the Giostra del Saracino (Joust of the Saracen). It has a sloping pavement in red brick with limestone geometrical lines. Aside from the apse of the church, other landmarks of the square include the Palace of the Lay Fraternity, a 14th–15th century palazzo, with a Gothic ground floor and a quattrocento second floor by Bernardo Rossellino.” (Arezzo, Wikipedia)
