Piazza del Campo is the heart of the city of Sienna. With its glorious shell shape and the wonderful buildings that surround it, it's certainly the most beautiful medieval piazza in Italy and one of the most beautiful in Western Europe.

Positioned near the junction of the three hills on which Sienna grew and developed over the centuries, Piazza del Campo is dominated by the great mass of the Palazzo Pubblico topped by the celebrated Torre del Mangia and complimented by other superb buildings, including the palace constructed by the Sansedoni family. All the components of the Piazza come together to form a unique whole: truly imposing, magnificently beautiful and historically fascinating.
