Remembrance Square

Beautiful rectangular square, overlooked by historic buildings Palazzo Giunta, Palazzo Pandolfi; Palazzo Giunta-Musso. It is the heart of the city and the stage for events and demonstrations of all kinds. In front of Palazzo Giunta, in an almost central position, there is the monument to the Fallen.
One of the historic buildings that was present inside the square was Palazzo Arezzo. It hosted the Pozzallo middle school until the 1957-58 school year, which then moved to the new building near Via Scicli, now Via Torino.
Near Palazzo Musso, during the Second World War, there was the entrance to an anti-atomic shelter that led to the current Via Garibaldi.
The Monument to the Fallen. Created and erected in 1928 by Benedetto D'Amore, surrounded, on the sides of the square, by forty-six palm trees, as many as the heroes (sailors) who fell in the First World War. The monument of Pozzallo is a soldier who, naked and proud, looks towards the sea in front of him. His hands go to the rudder which, in addition to symbolizing his being a sea soldier, has the task of hiding, of the rudder, the bar which, in 1928, had to obey a certain dictate that recalled the values of the past.
