Fontanella Piazza del Popolo

Cozy square - not small, but not pretentious or pretentious. Just like Ravenna herself. We visited at the end of May on a Sunday afternoon and it was so nice and peaceful that we couldn't help but like it. Be sure to set aside half an hour, sit down at one of the restaurants, order a coffee and enjoy Italy.

It is a lovely historical place with plenty of room, good cafes and restaurants (excellent service), a variety of local people and tourists. It is a great place to start from (to other places) or having a rest after visiting other places.
The building is great, and very well designed show for visitors.

nice, very worm

Walking the dog on a festive evening was so atmospheric and delightful 🙂🙂🙂

Restaurants, shops, coffee bars, all that you need in a very nice square...piazza del popolo...with great architecture. All the events are happening here.

Bars, restaurants and excellent people watching here. Oh, and the historical buildings. I thoroughly enjoyed spending time here.

Lovely space and lovely restaurants

Beautiful town Ravenna, bit once again, our visit was during the restoration of the clock on the Del Popollo Square and therefore we didn't get the chance to enjoy its beauty.

A nice quiet square in the heart of Ravenna, but it is also a meeting point that unites the streets of the historic center and which often hosts events and shows. It is surrounded by beautiful palaces and historic buildings. Bordered by the town hall and the Baroque church, Piazza del Popolo is the main square of Ravenna. Its rich history is seen and felt at every turn. The Piazza del Popolo was built by the Venetians as the core of the renewal process carried out under the dominance of the Serenissima in the city of Ravenna. Following the example of Piazza Saint Mark in Venice, in 1483 two columns were erected on the square. The Saint Mark's Lion was placed on the top of the column next to the palace, while on the other stood the statue of Saint Apollinaris, patron saint of the city. In the square we find: the Palazzo Merlato, which was built during the fourteenth century where in ancient times the Da Polenta family resided. On the south side of the square we find the Rector of Romagna's palace built in 1295, later it became the Apostolic Palace and the seat of the Legate of Romagna. Along the perimeter of the square we also find the Palazzo dei Rasponi del Sale, the current headquarters of the Unicredit bank. An interesting building with Public clock (Orologio pubblico) is also on the square. During our stay we were able to attend performances by Ukrainian musicians and dancers. Nice atmosphere.

Great views, loved people watching here!

Nice spot for a drink and to indulge in people watching .

La Bella Italia : nice people, very good food, sounds smells and colours of Italy at its best ... we had a great time !!!

Fontanella Piazza del Popolo is a monument of historical importance and certainly the most beautiful square in Ravenna. Beautiful and colorful buildings abut it. Here you can stop at a restaurant or just sit and watch the action
in this beautiful square.

I've gone two separate years around the holidays and it was a favorite spot to just sit and chill, especially with the giant Xmas tree & Christmas Markets. Catch Ravenna in Luce at night here if you can... cool projection & light show on the historic Byzantine architecture.

Lovely food and quick service. The piazza is lovely in the evening and the tables are lit by lovely lamps.

Very interesting historical site. Try walking a little further to rally immerse yourself in the culture of the area.

Fantastic, historical place. I love Ravenna.

Nice place, good service, amazing aperol

Public piazza so no entrance fee. Bustling piazza with cafes to watch the world go by.
