The Sun Square was formed at the end of the 18th century and was completely rebuilt in the 20th. Now it is an empty regular square (60 m on each side), in which gray granite inserts are located, imitating the pattern of a large carpet. According to the architect's idea, it is this absolute emptiness of the square, in fact, a "vacuum", that is designed to slow down our usual fussy run through life and make us think about the eternal. How! : ) From a practical point of view, the entrance to the elevator is located on the square, which will quickly take you to Castelgrande Castle.
