Piazza del Campo

Piazza del Campo

In the center of Siena is its great square, del Campo, built at the convergence of the city's principal roads, the Banchi di Sopra, Banchi di Sotto and via di Cittˆ. Each of these roads leads out across a ridge, straddled by one of the city's three medieval terzi, or quarters: the Terzo di Cittˆ to the Southwest, the Terzo di San Martino to the Southeast, and the Terzo di Camollia to the north.
