Piazza d’Armi, also known as Piazza Maggiore, is the hub of the town of Terra del Sole.
The open space houses monumental buildings such as the Church of Santa Reparata, the Palazzo Pretorio or the Commissaries, the Palazzo dei Provveditori and that of the Province or the Chancellery. These buildings reflect the typical Renaissance style, whose traditional forms are traceable in the use of the pietra serena in contrast with the lime surfaces of the protruding gutters and the curved windows.
The square once was the theater of the monthly exercises of the Compagnia del Presidio and, on the occasion of the patronal feast, hosted the “General Review” of the soldiers.
