Bâtiments historiques à Pienza

Historic Buildings in Pienza

Pienza, the "ideal city" of the Renaissance, showcases the architectural vision of Pope Pius II and architect Bernardo Rossellino. This collection features the 15th-century Palazzo Piccolomini and the Palazzo Comunale, which anchor the central Piazza Pio II. Beyond the town walls, fortified structures like Castello di Spedaletto and the hilltop Palazzo Massaini highlight the region's transition from medieval defense to elegant residential estates. These landmarks define the harmony and urban planning that earned the city its UNESCO World Heritage status.
