Renaissance Palaces and Castles

Pienza's centre was rebuilt in the 1460s by Pope Pius II and his architect Bernardo Rossellino. Three palaces frame the main square: the papal Palazzo Piccolomini, the bishop's Palazzo Borgia and the Palazzo Comunale. In the countryside around the town, fortified complexes such as Castello di Spedaletto and the towered Palazzo Massaini show the region's older defensive past.
