Piazza del Campo in Siena by šø@itssnotssonia The best way to admire Piazza del Campo or the Campo as the Sienese call it, is to climb the Torre del Mangia, which dominates it from above the Palazzo Pubblico. From here you can see how the square is central to the life of Siena, the starting and ending point of every itinerary to discover the city. From the tower you can also admire the characteristic shape of a shell with 9 segments, each of which is dedicated to one of the mythical members of the Government of the Nine who made Siena the jewel that we can still admire today.
