Why go
Its sturdy Romanesque form contrasts with the painted houses and Baroque Palazzo Maffei around the square. That contrast makes a brief exterior stop more revealing than the building's size suggests. The defining details are the ground-floor arcade opening directly toward the market square; its restrained stone and brick with the ornate facades opposite.
What to look for
- Notice the ground-floor arcade opening directly toward the market square.
- Compare its restrained stone and brick with the ornate facades opposite.
Useful to know
- View the exterior while circling Piazza delle Erbe.
- Interior access is not part of the visit, so allow about ten minutes.
