概要

クイックファクト: The towering Palazzo Pubblico holds the city's government offices and also serves as a museum. Its iconic facade faces the bustling Piazza del Campo, the site of Siena’s legendary Palio horse race.

見どころ: Step inside to marvel at the Sala del Mappamondo where a mysterious fresco depicts an intricate world map from the 14th century. The stunning fresco cycle by Ambrogio Lorenzetti vividly portrays the effects of good and bad government, bringing medieval politics to life in vibrant detail.

インサイダーヒント

Wear comfortable shoes as cobblestone stairs inside can be uneven and steep.
Capture the view of Piazza del Campo from the Torre del Mangia at sunset for spectacular cityscapes.
Skip the guided tour if you prefer to explore frescoes at your own pace with an audio guide.
Visit just before closing to enjoy quieter galleries and softer lighting on the artwork.
