"One of the largest Medieval squares covered in fainted teracota brown color"

One of the largest Medieval squares, covered in fainted teracota brown color, the atmospheric piazza was an innovative piazza at its time. That is because its unconventional, open space with no symbolism was never seen before.

It is located close to the Duomo and it is encircled by touristic restaurants and coffee shops.

Its surface has nine subdivisions in a shell shape and twice a year hosts The Palio games which is an equestrian type of sport race.
