Taking Via Rismondo on the right you reach the current Piazza Battisti.

Formerly called Piazza della Ginnastica (Gymnastics Square) following the construction of the Unione Ginnastica Goriziana gymnasium in 1869, it was closed on one side by the elegant palace erected in 1876 by the Colloredo-Mels counts. Purchased in 1890 by the Southern Railway Company, it became one of the city's most luxurious hotels, known as the Sud-Bahn Hotel. When, after the war, the building became state property, it was renovated for military use and remains the headquarters of the Pozzuolo del Friuli Cavalry Brigade today. At the center of the square, named after the Trentino irredentist Cesare Battisti after the war, stands a monument to Enrico Toti, the one-legged rifleman remembered for throwing his crutch against the Austrians and made famous by Achille Beltrami's illustration in the Domenica del Corriere.
