Square that served to Saint Anthony as a place of prayer with a green island in the shape of an ellipse called Memmia with statues.
This huge forum was originally a Roman theater. Saint Anthony used to come here to pray and preach. Abandoned after his death, the site was reborn in 1775, when it was decided to build a green island in the shape of an ellipse, called Memmia. This island is crossed by four alleys and four bridges. It is surrounded by a canal whose banks are decorated with 78 statues representing famous local personalities. Prato della Valle is still dear to the hearts of its inhabitants, who make it a favorite place for walks.

Très belle place, baignée dans une atmosphère irréelle. Si les statues n’ont pas grande valeur aux yeux de l’artiste, leur agencement le long d’un « canal » annulaire, entouré de quelques belles demeures, est original.

Divin. Grande place traversée par un cours d'eau et surmontée de statues. Il s'agit de la plus grande place d'Italie. Elle est entourée de jolies maisons et de Basilique Sainte-Justine qui valent également le coup d'oeil.

Très grande place présentant de nombreuses statues de personnalités de la ville. On y trouve un point d'eau et un espace vert où l'on peut flâner.
