Vela Placa has been at the centre of town life for centuries.

The history around Vela Placa

One of the landmarks of the square is the Square Tower, built at the end of the 15th century and used as the city hall in the 16th century. On its wall facing the square is a clock with a 24-hour dial, first mentioned in 1538 and returned to its original place in 1995. In the middle of the square stands a hexagonal cistern crown with carved reliefs, among them the winged lion of St Mark.
