Piazza Salimbeni is a historic square that plays a central role in Siena’s financial and political life. The square is home to the impressive Palazzo Salimbeni, a grand building that has served as the headquarters of the Monte dei Paschi di Siena bank since the 15th century. Surrounded by elegant architecture, this square stands as a symbol of Siena's wealth and influence during the medieval period and remains an important hub for the city’s modern economy.
Le Logge del Papa is a beautiful Renaissance-era loggia located just outside Piazza del Campo. Built in the late 15th century to commemorate the visit of Pope Pius II, this covered structure is a stunning example of classical design. The loggia’s arches and columns provide a glimpse of the city's Renaissance architectural style, offering a quiet place for visitors to relax and reflect while admiring views of the surrounding area.
Piazza del Campo is the vibrant heart of Siena, celebrated for its unique shell shape and beautiful medieval architecture.
