Piazza dei Signori is located near Piazza delle Erbe and has had administrative and political functions since the Middle Ages.
From an architectural point of view it is characterised by a succession of historic buildings connected by porticoes and loggias: Palazzo della Ragione, Palazzo di Cansignorio, Palazzo del Podestà, the Loggia del Consiglio and the Church of Santa Maria Antica, private chapel of the Palazzo degli Scaligeri.
This square is also known as Piazza di Dante because of the statue dedicated to the Supreme Poet placed here in 1865: a three-metre-high Carrara marble monument, reminiscent of the statue in Piazza Santa Croce in Florence. The statue was erected here on the occasion of the celebration of the sixth centenary of the birth of the poet, who found his first refuge at the court of Cangrande after his exile from Florence.
On this Piazza dei Signori, finally, there is the access to the Torre dei Lamberti, from which you can admire a suggestive panorama of the city.
