Piazza del Duomo

Piazza del Duomo is the principal public square in the centre of Trento, in Italy’s Trentino-Alto Adige region, dominated by the city’s cathedral and civic buildings. It functions as the historic and ceremonial heart of Trento and a frequent meeting place for residents and visitors.

Key elements in the square include the Duomo di Trento and the sculpted Neptune Fountain, along with adjacent palaces and the civic tower. The closely spaced medieval and Renaissance buildings form an enclosed streetscape that is walked and photographed by visitors.

The square developed around the cathedral and civic institutions over the medieval and early modern periods and remains Trento’s main historic public space. It sits in Trento’s historic centre, within short walking distance of other city landmarks and transport links.
