Livorno - Piazza Grande

The central feature of the old town of Leghorn is the long Piazza Grande, now surrounded by modern buildings. At its southern end stands the cathedral, rebuilt in accordance with the original plan; in the center of the square is the Palazzo Grande (1951) and at the northeast corner the Town Hall. From here Via Cairoli runs south to the Piazza Cavour, the new center of the city's traffic, which is partly laid out over a canal, the Fosso Reale.
