Piazza Tola

Sassari


Just north of Corso Vittorio Emanuele II, Piazza Tola was medieval Sassari's main square where condemned heretics were burned at the stake. Overlooking the piazza is the 16th-century Palazzo d'Usini, one of the first Renaissance buildings to be constructed in Sardinia and now home to the city library.
