The square was opened between 1843 and 1844 after the demolition of the Church of Santa Chiara and the southern part of the convent of the same name. The Convent of Saint Clare was built in 1310, and the nuns remained here until 1802, the year the order was abolished following the Napoleonic decree suppressing religious orders. The approximately 2,200 square meter square was created specifically for the grain market, as the colonnades could serve as shelter for grain during bad weather.

This festival, now an Ivrea tradition and tourist attraction, dates back to the Middle Ages and involves the symbolic throwing of orange peels as a demonstration of the fight against oppression.

Lake Sirio in the summer is a real gem. Lush nature on the edge of the lake with the possibility of running or walking for about 3 km around it, including a short stretch of dirt. For swimming enthusiasts there is an embarrassment of choice because of all 5 morainic lakes in the area of the 5 lakes, this is the largest in terms of extension. The stretch that I have defined is a lap that touches the landing stage of the private rowing club, goes around the yellow buoys for the entire lake in the parts close to the banks. From mid-April (for the more daring with a wetsuit) until the end of September the temperatures allow swimming. I strongly recommend everyone to swim, however always bringing with them a floating buoy or a board with a belt tied around their waist.
