Piazza del Sale, Medieval square in historic centre of Grosseto, Italy
Piazza del Sale features paved stone walkways surrounded by traditional buildings that form a rectangular open space in central Grosseto.
During the 14th century, this plaza functioned as the primary marketplace for salt traders, reflecting the economic importance of this commodity in medieval Tuscany.
The square hosts regular local markets where vendors display regional products, connecting present-day commerce with centuries-old trading traditions.
Multiple cafes and restaurants line the perimeter of the square, offering indoor and outdoor seating throughout different seasons of the year.
The original salt storage facility, dating from medieval times, remains visible near the square, marking its connection to the historical salt trade.
