Overview
The square was Piran's inner fishing harbour, the mandrač, until it was filled in and named after the violinist Giuseppe Tartini, born in a Gothic house beside it in 1692. The bronze Tartini monument by Antonio Dal Zotto was erected in 1896. Redesigned in the 1980s as a white-stone ellipse, the square is closed to traffic and is the usual starting point for a walk through the old town.
