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.
