Loggia dei Mercanti, Renaissance long gallery in Piazza della Libertà, Macerata, Italy

The Loggia dei Mercanti features two floors with semi-circular arches supported by columns, forming a covered passageway in the central square.

Cardinal Legate Alessandro Farnese, who later became Pope Paul III, commissioned the construction of this gallery between 1503 and 1505.

The gallery served as a municipal scale for weighing grain and provided a space for merchants to showcase their products to potential buyers.

Located at coordinates 43.300464, 13.453036, the gallery stands as a central reference point for visitors exploring Macerata's historical district.

The structure underwent substantial modifications during the Regional Exhibition of 1905, altering its original Renaissance appearance for modern functions.
