The Italian Piazza, nestled in the heart of
Axum, serves as a lively hub for small-scale trade and craftsmanship. This
historic space, reserved for business and cultural exchange, comes alive each
Saturday when local artisans, merchants, and vendors gather to showcase their
goods. From hand-woven textiles to unique handcrafted items, the piazza offers
a glimpse into the vibrant culture of Axum. Additionally, visitors can enjoy
traditional coffee ceremonies and even rent bicycles to explore the area. On
any day other than Saturday, however, trade is prohibited, ensuring that the
piazza retains its cultural and community significance throughout the week.
