The most appreciated feature of Piazza delle Erbe is the monuments, palaces, and patrician houses that embellish its perimeter like jewels on a crown. Palazzo del Comune, Casa dei Giudici, the houses of the Mazzanti family and Torre dei Lamberti on the north side, the beautiful Baroque-style Palazzo Maffei, flanked by the Gardello tower, featuring the first bell clock of the city, on the west side, Casa dei Mercanti on the south side, are just some of the most appreciated. The constructions facing the north-western side of the square, instead, have been built in more recent times over the area hosting the ancient Capitol and overlooking the Roman Forum.
