Il Campo. Siena photo spot

While there is much to see and do in Siena, its famous Piazza del Campo is without a doubt the heart and soul of this beautiful Tuscan community. As one of the most visited of all Tuscan towns, Siena is a magnet, drawing tourists from all over the world. It is certainly worthy of all the attention. With its stunning Duomo and its famous Piazza del Campo, otherwise known as the Il Campo, visitors can walk the same paths and alleys as the Etruscans did centuries ago. The Piazza del Campo is the large public space that dominates the historic center of Siena. Its clamshell design, red brick paving, and a rather large area make it one of Italy’s most unique and beautiful medieval squares. The piazza is divided into nine pie-shaped wedges, which all radiate out from the lowest point of the square in front of the Palazzo Pubblico (Town Hall). Surrounded by impressive public buildings, cafes’, and residences, the Piazza del Campo is the natural gathering spot for visitors and locals alike.
