Tips

The piazza is the interior of a Roman amphitheater. The walls are now used for shops and restaurants. On the outside you can still see original parts of the amphitheater.
A beautiful place to sit, eat and drink.

The square is a large elliptical space, bordered by an uninterrupted row of medieval houses, with the exception of four arched doors at the four cardinal points.
As you can see from its shape, the buildings were raised exactly following a Roman amphitheater of the 1st century A.D., whose remains lie in the foundations or in the walls of the houses. The amphitheater, which was originally thought to contain around 10,000 spectators, was later transformed into a quarry for building materials, storage for salt, powder magazine and even prison.
Since it is a space open to the public, there are no timetables or entrance fees.

One of the pearls of Tuscany.
Not as crowded as Florence or Siena.
