The most representative monuments of Faenza's old town concentrate around the two main squares, Piazza del Popolo and Piazza della Libertà, from which the city's major avenues, Corso Mazzini and Corso Garibaldi, originate.
The Clock Tower, Palazzo del Podestà and the Town Hall surround Piazza del Popolo, while the sumptuous XV-XVI-century Cathedral dominates Piazza della Libertà. Apart from this outstanding sacred building, which is said to be one of the most important Renaissance monuments in Romagna, further interesting churches are St. Maria Vecchia and its original bell tower dating back to the VIII century and the XIII-century Church of Commenda.
Art lovers will have the opportunity to visit the rich collection cherished by the local Art Gallery, which is approached from Piazza del Popolo along Corso Mazzini, and Faenza's International Museum of Ceramic Art, which contains one of the largest collections of majolicaware in the world and gathers objects from different ages and countries. The section dedicated to contemporary production gathers precious works realized by some of the most illustrious artists of the twentieth century.
Shopping lovers will have the possibility to go shopping along the streets of the city centre, which are scattered with traditional workshops selling both majolica objects and tasty local staples, such as Colli di Faenza DOC wines, salami and cheeses.
