Piazza Martiri della Libertà is the city's main square, where you can see the monument to the dead of the First World War (a work by Luigi Contratti) and the Venetian column topped with the Lion of St. Mark. The Republic of Venice ruled Lonato from the mid-15th century until the end of the 18th century, for approximately 350 years without interruption. The council chamber houses an 18th-century map of the Lonato area, and the ceiling features 18th-century carvings dedicated to the Lonato agronomist Camillo Tarello (1517–1573). This large hall is called the "Celesti Hall" because it contains an unusual work of art created for this space in 1693 by the Venetian painter Andrea Celesti (1637–1712). The council chamber houses an 18th-century map of the Lonato area, and the ceiling features 18th-century carvings dedicated to the Lonato agronomist Camillo Tarello (1517–1573). The large canvas (measuring 262 x 735 cm) was commissioned by the city administration in 1692 (to commemorate the end of the plague epidemic). In the center, Christ is depicted with the Virgin Mary on the left and Saint John the Baptist—patron saint of Lonato—on the right. On the left is an allegory of Lonato alongside the Doge of Venice and the three theological virtues, while on the right, the painter depicted the consequences of the plague: a lazaretto and the flying devil.

Unfortunately, there isn't much to see of the impressive castle. You can catch a glimpse from one spot. Otherwise, everything is cordoned off and protected from prying eyes by a high wall.
