Piazza del Forno in Rocca Canterano: the heart of community life in the Middle Ages

Piazza del Forno (Bakery Square) is located at Via Roma 81, in the heart of medieval Rocca Canterano. It takes its name from the ancient communal oven that once occupied this space. This was where local families brought their bread to be baked. This simple yet essential function made the square the true focal point of the village’s daily life. Although the oven no longer exists, the historical toponym has been preserved.
