Palazzo Pubblico
The historic city of Siena is located in the beautiful region of Tuscany in central Italy. Self-contained behind its medieval walls, the attractive Gothic cityscape rises at the meeting point of three hills. The focal point of city life is the spectacular Piazza del Campo, its fan-like shape fits the natural slope of the ground and is surrounded by renaissance Palazzos and local restaurants. This provides a splendid backdrop for the Corsa del Palio, a fast and furious bareback horse race held twice yearly, which dates back to the 15th century and a tradition representing neighbourhood pride which taken very seriously by the Sienese.

Some of Siena’s most beautiful architectural structures are the Palazzo Pubblico, which was originally Siena’s City Hall, The Duomo, a Romanesque cathedral and Piccolomini Palace, located in the Piazza del Campo, one of the many Florentine style palaces located in Siena which was crafted by Bernardo Rossellino.
