The market of the palace gate started about 100 years ago, right at the beginning of the last century. Slowly became one of the most popular markets in the region, among other things, due to its colossal area, which extends over a large part of the area of the square of the Republic and as such it is the largest open market in Italy and in Europe as a whole.
