Standing proudly at 102 meters above the bustling Piazza del Campo, the Torre del Mangia at the Palazzo Pubblico is a sight to behold and ranks as the third tallest tower in Italy. Its sleek, elegant form is crafted primarily from red brick, symbolizing a deep connection to the common people. Rising to 87 meters in brick, the tower's upper portion is made of white travertine, likely intended to make it stand out even more in the Siena skyline.
As you wander through the piazza, you'll find yourself drawn to this architectural marvel. Climbing to the top offers breathtaking views of the surrounding Tuscan landscape, a patchwork of rolling hills and charming villages. The tower, built between 1338 and 1348, has stood the test of time, witnessing centuries of history unfold below. It's a must-see for anyone exploring this enchanting Italian city, offering both a glimpse into the past and a panoramic view of the present.
