Pienza Essentials

Pope Pius II rebuilt his birthplace in the 1460s as a model Renaissance town, and its centre around Piazza Pio II is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This list covers the square and the palaces and cathedral that frame it, the Romanesque Pieve di Corsignano where the pope was baptised, and the famous countryside sights nearby: the Vitaleta chapel, the walled village of Monticchiello and the gardens of La Foce.

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.

Squares and Peaks of Pienza

This collection highlights the dual character of Pienza, the 'Ideal City' of the Renaissance. It features the urban squares commissioned by Pope Pius II, including pedestrian areas within the historic core and gateways like Piazza Martiri della Libertà. Complementing these architectural spaces are the surrounding 'poggi' or peaks, such as Poggio Oppio and Poggio San Pietro, which define the rolling clay hills and cypress-lined landscapes of the UNESCO-listed Val d'Orcia.
