The Public Palace of Siena

The Public Palace of Siena is the seat of the political power of the city. Since the “9 government” (that in 1300 made Siena become the beautiful city that we can see today) to nowadays all Siena’s governors lived there. If only nine politics succeeded in thinking and realizing these wonders we would expect something better from the thousand politics that in this times crowd the city halls.
The Public palace of Siena is considered one of the most beautiful civil palaces in Italy. It has always been admired for its harmony and majestic. A beauty yet perceived during the construction of the palace, so much that the city government during the works passed an edict that obligated the owners of the buildings in piazza del Campo to build their houses observing rules of stylistic coherence, but, at the same time, they should not be more beautiful or bigger than the Palace. In the Palace there’s the Civic Museum of Siena too, decorated with the famous frescos of Ambrogio Lorenzetti which represent the allegories of good and bad government.
