Fontebranda

Just a stone’s throw away is the beautiful pristine Gothic Fontebranda, Siena’s largest and oldest fountain. The sophisticated 11th-century hydraulic system that reused “clean sewage” for dyeing fabric and by the mills outside the city walls is a testimony to the ingenuity of Sienese in the face of the arid climate.

Duomo di Siena

Continue to marvel at the Gothic gem of Siena Cathedral. Its magnificent façade made from white and greenish-black marble, Siena’s symbolic colors, was the work of the great medieval architect Giovanni Pisano. To its right, you can find Facciatone, the large incomplete façade of a new cathedral that was never finished due to a devastating 14th-century plague.

Palazzo Pubblico

What also stands out is the one-of-a-kind shape of the square: It is divided into 9 sections, creating a shell-like appearance pointing directly to the Public Palace, the seat of the City Council and also the Civic Museum.
