🇮🇹 Siena｜Gateway to Tuscany

💚Piazza del Campo di Siena: A massive square shaped like a nine-segment shell, symbolizing the nine medieval governors who once ruled Siena. 🌴Siena Town Hall (Palazzo Pubblico) Home to the Civic Museum of Siena (Museo Civico di Siena). 💗The museum’s most famous artwork is the 1338 allegorical fresco The Allegory of Good and Bad Government and Their Effects on the Town and Countryside by Ambrogio Lorenzetti, a master of the 13th/14th-century Sienese School. 🍃Santa Maria della Scala Museum Complex: Santa Maria della Scala was one of Europe’s oldest and largest pilgrim hospices and hospitals. 📍Torre del Mangia: Offers sweeping views of Piazza del Campo and the city of Siena, though reaching the top requires climbing 400 narrow steps. ⛪ Siena Cathedral (Duomo di Siena) Built in the 12th–13th centuries, this Gothic-style cathedral is a medieval masterpiece. ✨Its interior highlights include 56 religious-themed marble inlaid floors, crafted using mosaic techniques over more than 200 years from the 14th to the 16th centuries, with contributions from over 40 artists. #Italy #Tuscany #Siena
