Wonders of Italy: Siena's Piazza del Campo

Piazza del Campo is the heart of Siena, its historical soul. It is famous all over the world for its beauty, architectural integrity and unique shell shape. It is a Unesco World Heritage site since 1995, along with all of Siena’s historic center. 

In the past, Piazza del Campo was a green area, used to host open-air markets; today, it is the meeting point for the Sienesi, and also the place where the famous Palio takes place twice a year.
