The square

 In the XIII century the inhabitants of the castle went down to the valley below and gave life to the new city of San Severino. The square dates back to this time. Here you can see the palaces of Caccialupi, Luzi, Servanzi, Gentili di Rovellone and the town hall.

The Clock Tower

Besides the remaking of the Feronia theatre, the  intervention of the architect Aleandri in the western and eastern extremities of the square with the Clock Tower and the façade of Margarucci palace was decisive in qualifying the fusiform shape of the square.

The Civic Tower

The Civic Tower is the only intact monument of military architecture. In the Middle Age it was used for defence, as a jail and, most of all, to make signals, in the daytime with smoke and at night with fire.

The Feronia Theatre

The Feronia Theatre - so called in honour of the goddess that, according to the tradition, added to Settempeda a temple where a rite of liberation of the slaves was celebrated - was built between 1823 and 1827 on a sketch of the architect Ireneo Aleandri.
