The Italy Square

The Italy Square is a very small square outside the Walls.

The squares were the most important places in the cities and for that reason some commercial activities, bullfighting festivals and dances were held there.
The Italy square is a meeting place, where people gather to speak and to take a walk. It is a small but pretty square. Santo Tome church, which now has been rehabilitated as a museum, is there.

As well as the Serrano family palace, one of the prettiest palaces in Ávila.

The square has commercial activities, such as a shop were wine and alcoholic drinks are sold, two bars, an administration office and a boutique.

But there were no arcades where the retailers could be sheltered from the cold and from rain, it has not much activity.
