The best way to enjoy the Piazza is from one of the many cafes surrounding the square. Pure dolce vita.

Piazza Vittorio Emanuele II is the beating heart of Finalmarina, one of the three villages that make up the municipality of Finale Ligure. The square, surrounded by elegant buildings with 17th-century facades and historic porticoes, is a gathering place and the main setting for city events and celebrations. The Arch of Triumph, which stands majestically in the square, is actually known as the Arch of Margaret of Spain. It was erected in 1666, not to celebrate a military triumph, but to welcome and honor the passage of Margaret Theresa of Spain. The young Infanta, daughter of King Philip IV of Spain, was traveling to Vienna to marry Emperor Leopold I of Austria and become empress. The arch, which marks the eastern entrance to Finalmarina, is a symbol of Ligurian history and its connection to Spanish rule, particularly the Marquisate of Finale. Another interesting fact is that the arch is sometimes confused with the Arch of Carlo Alberto, another monumental arch in Finale Ligure, erected in 1836 in honor of the visit of King Carlo Alberto of Savoy. The Arch of Margherita is an iconic landmark, once flanked by customs buildings and today, standing alone, stands out for its beauty and historical significance.
