Exploring Siena, Italy I 4K

Siena is a world-renowned UNESCO World Heritage city in Tuscany, Italy, celebrated for its exceptionally preserved medieval architecture and vibrant local traditions. Historically a major banking and commercial hub, it famously rivaled Florence during the Middle Ages. Piazza del Campo, popularly known as "Il Campo," is the primary public space of Siena and is widely regarded as one of Europe's greatest medieval squares. Renowned for its unique shell-shaped design and architectural integrity, it serves as the heart of the city's social and civic life. The history of Siena is a dramatic tale of medieval power, bitter rivalry with Florence, and an abrupt halt caused by the Black Death. Its remarkably preserved Gothic center is the result of a "Golden Age" that ended prematurely, leaving the city frozen in time. The Palazzo Pubblico (Town Hall) is the architectural focal point of Siena's Piazza del Campo. Built between 1297 and 1310, it served as the seat of the Republic of Siena's "Government of the Nine" and continues to function as the city hall today. The Siena Cathedral (Duomo di Siena), officially the Cattedrale di Santa Maria Assunta, is a spectacular 13th-century masterpiece and one of the finest examples of Italian Gothic architecture. Described as "the most beautiful... that ever was made," this floor consists of 56 etched and inlaid marble panels created by over 40 artists over 200 years.
