Piazza del Campo is the main public space of the historic center of Siena, a city in Tuscany, Italy, Its name comes from the Italian word campanilismo, which translates to "local pride" and campanile "bell tower." [1] The campo is regarded as one of Europe's greatest medieval squares. It is renowned worldwide for its beauty and architectural integrity. The Palazzo Pubblico and its Torre del Mangia, as well as various palazzi signorili, surround the scallop shell-shaped piazza. At the northwest edge is the Fonte Gaia.
The twice-a-year horse race, Palio di Siena, is held around the edges of the piazza. The piazza is also the finish location of the annual road cycling race Strade Bianche.
