Piazza Plebiscito, Central square in Ferrandina, Italy.

Piazza Plebiscito is the main public square of Ferrandina centered around the Santa Maria della Croce Church, built in 1492. Traditional stone buildings in southern Italian style surround the space and several key streets branch off from it.

The square was named after the 1860 plebiscite when Ferrandina voted to support Italian unification. This moment came after feudal rights had ended in 1806, marking a transition to a new political order.

The church of Santa Maria della Croce on the square gives it its popular name, Piazza della Chiesa, still used by Ferrandina residents alongside the official Plebiscito title. The open space in front of the facade is where the town's religious processions form and return, and where the evening passeggiata passes through.

The square is easy to navigate and connects directly to Via Mazzini, the main shopping street of the town. Its level surface makes walking comfortable and provides clear views for orientation.

Ferrandina's Majatica olives, also called Majatica di Ferrandina, are pressed for the extra virgin olive oil the town is known for. The Piazza Plebiscito area has long been where growers meet during the autumn harvest to exchange news on the crop, a practice tied to the town's olive-growing economy rather than to any monument on the square.
