 A typical street in Siena by Helga67Leave a Comment

Siena is amazing city situated on a several small hills and when strolling around you constantly change up and down directions. I was very impressed by the proportions of its main attractions; Torre del Mangia, the Cathedral and the basilica of San Domenico, which can be seen from a very far distance. But most of all, I was impressed by the hospitality of the Sienese, found them much more friendly then Firentine. Last but not the least, the most of the houses in the old core of the town are unexpectedly tall, having four or even five storey's. Leave a Comment

Terzo di Citta was the original residential nucleus of Siena that relied on the Castelvecchio for its defense. It is the oldest part of the town, concentrated around the Cathedral, and certainly one of the most beautiful and pitoresque in whole of Siena. Leave a Comment

 Piazza del Campo, Siena, Italy by karenincalifornia
The Piazza, built in 1347, has some unique features. It was built in a semi-circular shape, with a concave slant, so that all water is directed to a large drain on one side. The stones were all laid out in a herringbone style. The herringbone paving is divided into nine sections, which is supposed to have had something to do with Siena's Government of Nine during medieval times.
Along the edge of the Piazza are numerous bistros, cafes and gelati stands. It's a great place for people watching! Leave a Comment

 The Front Facade by KiNyA
It is build in Gothic style.
The most interesting I found the front facade, the belltower, and the unfinished nave.
Clear blue sky, don't you think so? Leave a Comment
