Piazza Cardinale Niccolò, Historical square in Prato, Italy.
The square features a central fountain surrounded by decorative railings and geometric flowerbeds, complemented by ornamental holm oak trees along its perimeter.
The square's current layout dates back to the 18th-century renovation by architect Giuseppe Valentini, who implemented Pietro Leopoldo's reform program through enlightened classicism.
The square borders the San Niccolò Monastery Church and the Conservatory, housing municipal offices and a primary school within its surrounding buildings.
The 2016 renovation introduced stone paving in the central area, transforming the entire space into a pedestrian zone with enhanced lighting around the fountain.
A scene from Francesco Nuti's film 'Madonna che silenzio c'è stasera' was filmed in this square, depicting a meeting between the protagonist and a street worker.
