The ancient name, still very commom today, was Piazza Esedra, namend after the exedra of the baths of Diocletian which gives the piazza its shape. The both identical semi-circular buildings, located on the margin of the piazza, were built in the years 1887 until 1898 by the Italian architect Gaetano Koch in a neo-classical style. One of these buildings hosts the Boscolo Exedra Hotel and in the other building housed government departments. The Basilica Santa Maria degli Angeli e dei Martiti, built by Michelangelo, is situated also on a part of the ancient baths of Diocletian and in the centre of the piazza is the Naiads fountain, inaugurated in 1901, located.
