Piazza della Frutta - Piazza della Frutta, once known as Piazza del Peronio, is one of the many squares that define the historic center of Padua. For centuries, along with Piazza delle Erbe, it served as the city’s commercial hub. Today, one of Italy’s largest markets is held in these two squares. The square is dominated by the imposing Palazzo della Ragione, which is part of the extensive Palazzo Comunale and the Torre degli Anziani.
