It is the largest square in Ostuni, the heart of the town and the starting point for a visit to discover the treasures of the White City.\n\nPiazza della Libertà is a meeting point between the past, rich in history, and the present, rich in interest for the citizens who live it daily and the visitors who find themselves on the cobblestones of the large triangular space, bordered on one side by Palazzo San Francesco.\n\nThe latter is an ancient Franciscan monastery, renovated in the 1800s, today the seat of the Town Hall, whose atrium in summer becomes the setting for cultural events.\n\nOn the opposite side is the 18th-century Obelisk of Sant’Oronzo, one of the city’s symbols, whose history is also told by the archaeological finds of considerable interest revealed by recent work on the square.
