Siena — Piazza del Campo & Torre del Mangia
Tuscany
Siena's Piazza del Campo, sloping and fan-shaped, is one of the most distinctive squares in Europe, twice a year transformed into the track for the historic Palio horse race. The streets radiating from it are steep in places but the piazza itself is flat, level and easy.
