MARIA IMMACOLATA SQUARE
In old times it was called Garibaldi square. It was planned
by the architect Davide da Conversano in 1854, and it has a
wonderful and wide colonnade in a neo-classic style.
Maria Immacolata square, that you can reach from Plebiscito square, is the
first example of urban structure in Martina. |

AGOSTINO CASAVOLA SQUARE
In old times the inhabitants of Martina called it “onion square”but,
in recent times, Agostino Casavola square, in the heart of the
old town centre, was totally restored and recovered. Its
original floor was settled in the beginning of the Fifties with
Karst stones and then covered by pitch. |
 |
|
Now it is made of Minervino Karts stone, to
integrate it with the other street in the old town centre. To
embellish this little square they settled a small artistic
fountain (to replace another one that was there) and some cast
iron street lamps. |

UMBERTO SQUARE
Umberto square was built in the same place where once the
covered market was, and it was for years the site where the
local commerce developed. Now, this square is definitely one of
the most populated sites in the old town centre. |
 |
|
It was planned as a stair structure because
there was a slope from via Principessa Elena to via Paisiello.
The square is embellished by : flowerbeds, an olive tree, that
is a symbol of both peace and the peasant local culture, benches
and cast iron artistic street lamps.
