The Palazzo Pubblico is a palace in the center of Siena, near the old market, where today is the Municipal Museum. Every year, in front of Piazza del Campo, there is a local horse race, one of the cultural highlights of Siena.
Siena is considered one of the most beautiful cities in Italy and impresses with its mass of historical buildings, with which it has preserved its medieval character. The old town is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

In the center of the Tuscan town of Siena rises the Piazza del Campo. The place is known for its impressive architecture and its semicircular shape, as well as the twice-yearly horse race.

On the higher side of the Piazza del Campo is the Fonte Gaia, which Jacopo della Quercia created between 1409 and 1419. It is called 'Well of Joy' because in 1342 it was possible for the first time to let water flow into the city using a 25 km long pipe. The perpetual lack of water was a big problem in the mountain town of Siena - especially in the summer months. Source: Wikipedia
