Piazza del Mercato (lit. 'Market's Square'), better known as Piazza del Sale (lit. 'Salt's Square') is a public square in the historic centre of Grosseto, Tuscany, Italy. Named for its historical role as a medieval salt storage hub, the square has been a key site in Grosseto since the 13th century. Anchored by the Cassero del Sale, where salt from local salines was stored, the square was central to the city's economy. Later shaped by Siena and Medici influences, it evolved into a market and commercial center. Archaeological excavations have revealed, next to the old Cassero, remnants of a Sienese salt depot, which remain visible today.
