   Piazza Mercanti

   10 min

   Piazza dei Mercanti was once the commercial and civic heart of medieval Milan, where merchants, traders and craftsmen met to buy, sell and exchange goods in a lively marketplace. In the 13th century this square buzzed with life, surrounded by workshops and trade entrances dedicated to different crafts, from tailor-made wares to armor and hats. Today it preserves some of Milan’s best-preserved medieval architecture, with historic buildings like the Palazzo della Ragione and the Loggia degli Osii still standing. Standing here feels like stepping back in time to when Milan was shaped by commerce, law and public life long before the Duomo dominated the skyline
