Narrative and photographs
Apparently this benchmark is treated like royalty! It’s on a stone in a very prominent location on the square just as described, and it’s surrounded by four taller monuments whose purpose is unknown to me. The disk is in excellent condition. It was a chilly day, but the rain held off while we were exploring this beautifully maintained park.
