The Piazza Ducale is one of the finest piazzas in Italy. It is an elongated rectangle that is almost in the ideal proportions 1:3 advocated by the architectural theorist Filarete. It is said to have been laid out by Bramante, and was certainly built for Ludovico il Moro, starting in 1492-93 and completed in record time, unusual for early Renaissance town planning. The photo shows the Piazza Ducale with the tower of the Castello Sforzesco \(Torre del Bramante\), attributed to Bramante, at left. ## Related artworks - [Argus \(detail\)]() - [Argus]() - [Christ at the Column]() - [Exterior view]() - [Exterior view]() - [Exterior view]() - [Exterior view]() - [Exterior view]() - [Exterior view]() - [Exterior view]() - [Exterior view]() - [General view]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
