The "Piazza Grande" (Large Square) of Arezzo, also known as "Piazza Vasari", has a planimetric trapezoidal development strongly inclined.

The west side of the square is characterised by a romantic style due to the apse of the church "Pieve di Santa Maria", but also by the baroque style of the Palazzo of the Tribunal.
On the same side there is also a splendid public fountain and the elegant palazzo of the Fraternity of the Laics, characterised by three different styles, respectively: gothic on the lowest part, renaissance on the central one and late-renaissance on the highest part. The north side of the "Piazza Grande" of Arezzo, also called "Piazza Vasari" after the name of the architect who projected in 1573 AC the "Palazzo delle Logge"; located at the South-East there is the "Palazzo Lappoli" made of edifices of different highness and also has a wooden alleyway.
In the South-West part we find the house tower of the Cofani, also called Cofani-Brizzolari because of the fusion between the Faggiolana Tower and the edifice next to it. On the perimeter of the square arises a tower bell with the clock marking the movement of the sun and the lunar phases realised by Felice da Fossato in 1552 AC.
Among the events taking place on "Piazza Vasari" we should cite the Tournament of the Saracen, remembering every two years the medieval history of the city, with a challenge among cavaliers at a gallop and a historic parade made of three hundred personages and standard bearers and the monthly Antiquary Fair born in 1968 thanks to Ivan Bruschi where the collectors coming from all over Italy have an appointment between "Piazza Grande", "via dei Pileati", "Corso Italia", "via Cavour", "Piazza San Francesco" to exhibit paintings, clocks, antique printings, books, fabrics and objects in copper or in iron.
