Part 2/8:

The medieval city of Siena stands as a testament to the grandeur and significance it held as a major banking and trading power in the 1300s. Once a bustling city with a population comparable to Paris, Siena has transformed into a charming town of approximately 50,000, maintaining its Gothic aesthetic and rich history.

At the heart of Siena lies Il Campo, an inviting square that serves as a communal hub. Surrounded by the historic City Hall and vibrant local activities, this piazza is both a lively gathering place and a beautiful example of Gothic architecture. Here, visitors can lounge with locals and partake in the tradition of "passeggiata," an evening stroll filled with camaraderie and celebration.
