The indoor square of Maenza is of medieval origin and is located near Porta Maggiore, one of the entrances to the medieval town of Maenza.
Tradition has it that the Loggia dei Mercanti (Loggia of the Merchants) had been built for all those people who come to Maenza late in the evening and were unable to enter the village because the doors were locked, so they could find shelter from bad weather just in this place.
Over time the loggia was also used as a market, hence its name. Today it is used for meetings and events and from its openings you can admire the panoramic countryside.
