Piazza del Campo è la piazza principale di Siena. Unica per la sua particolare e originalissima forma a conchiglia, è rinomata in tutto il mondo per la sua bellezza e integrità architettonica, nonché per essere il luogo in cui due volte l'anno si svolge il Palio di Siena. Per un'antica convenzione, la piazza e il Palazzo Pubblico non appartengono ad alcuna contrada Lo spazio che sarebbe diventato la piazza attuale era, alle origini di Siena, un terreno bonificato per consentire il deflusso delle acque piovane, come testata semicircolare della valle di Montone. Il primo documento che parla di sistemazione dello spazio del "Campo" è del 1169, in cui si parla di un Campus Sancti Pauli, e si riferisce a tutta la vallata comprendente sia l'attuale piazza che quella del Mercato, al giorno d'oggi retrostante al palazzo Comunale. In questa data, la comunità senese acquista il terreno che andava dalle attuali Logge della Mercanzia all'attuale piazza del Mercato. La piazza si trova nel punto nodale dove si diramano le tre principali vie cittadine, spine dorsali dei Terzi, distinguendosi come un unitario di sublime armonia, frutto più alto della passione senese per la bellezza, manifestata precocemente dal popolo ancora prima del celebre statuto del 1262 dedicato all'urbanistica e all'estetica cittadina[1]. Ciò ne fa una delle più alte creazioni dell'urbanistica medievale[1]. Il Palazzo Comunale, visibile nella foto fu costruito dal governo della Repubblica di Siena tra il 1298 e il 1310 come sede del Governo dei Nove. Non fu usata la pietra, ma il mattone, mentre gli elementi bianchi sono in marmo. Ogni finestra è ornata da un'ogiva che la contiene. I merli sono di tipo guelfo. (da Wikipedia) Come sempre grazie di cuore a chi si fermerà e lascerà un segno del suo passaggio.

Nice p.d.r. for a suggestive composition.
Bello il bianconero, although I imagine it equally beautiful also in color.
Compliments
Ciao
