4th of November Square

This is the center of the city of Perugia. It is home to important monuments like the Palazzo dei Priori and the Cathedral of San Lorenzo, as well as the beautiful fountain Maggiore. Putting aside its undeniable artistic value, this square is particularly interesting because it is the daily meeting place for thousands of students each year studying at the University of Perugia. It is custom to meet on the steps of the cathedral to have a beer, have a smoke and wait for nighttime. Something that is also common is the "last" before going home. In this square you can find very lively street performances and also the main stages at fairs, festivals and cultural events.
