    On the higher side of the Piazza del Campo stands the Fonte Gaia. It is called the 'Fountain of Joy' because in 1342 it was possible to let water flow into the city for the first time with the help of a 25 km long pipe. The perpetual lack of water was a major problem in the mountain town of Siena - especially in the summer months. Source: Wikipedia

      Fresh water, very good. It is necessary to have a bottle or water bottle to fill because the spout is rather low

        For me one of the most impressive and beautiful medieval town squares in Italy and Europe. I keep coming back with the same excitement.
