faq.subtitle Piazza Garibaldi
The Governor's Palace (13th c.) features unique sundials on its facade showing different times of day. Installed in the 18th century, they remain accurate to this day.
The square is lined with historic cafes. Try 'Caffe del Teatro' for atmosphere or 'Bar Oriente' for authentic local coffee. Prices are slightly higher due to location but the ambiance is worth it.
