The Square is surrounded by elegant buildings of ancient noble families of Carrara, and cobbled square of marble to form ten large decorative panels. At his centre, a fountain with tub and marble lion, topped by a large statue, work of 1827 by Pietro Fontana, depicting the Duchess Maria Beatrice d'Este on a pedestal decorated with bas-reliefs.
