Piazza del Campo is the main square of Siena, where you will find the majestic Palazzo Pubblico with its imposing tower, known as “Torre del Mangia”; inside it is housed one of the most important museums of the city, the Civic Museum.
The exhibition route that we propose, walking through the many frescoed rooms and with unique panoramic views, covers a time span ranging from the fourteenth century to the nineteenth century and is able to give the visitor an almost complete overview of the evolution of the Sienese art. Among the greatest masterpieces of the Civic Museum are the grandiose works of art by Simone Martini such as “La Maestà” and “Guidoriccio da Fogliano” and the frescoes in the Hall of Peace with “The Allegory and the Effects of the Good and the Bad Government” by Ambrogio Lorenzetti.
