Piazza del Campo is the main public space of the historic center of Siena, and the campo regarded as one of Europe's greatest medieval squares. It is renowned worldwide for its beauty and architectural integrity. The Palazzo Pubblico and its Torre del Mangia, as well as various palazzi signorili surround the shell-shaped piazza. At the northwest edge is the Fonte Gaia.
The twice a year horserace, Palio di Siena, is held around the edges of the piazza. The piazza is also the finish location of the annual road cycling race Strade Bianche.

It's a Gothic cathedral with a huge exterior that gives you a sense of splendor and beauty.
This cathedral is decorated with 2,000 adult statues and 135 small spires, including a golden statue of the Virgin Mary at the top of the cathedral. Milan is located in the north of the Italian peninsula and is more influenced by the Gothic style that developed north of the Alps than the Baroque or Renaissance style that is common in Rome. That's why Milan's Duomo was built in this Gothic style.
Construction of the Milan Duomo began in 1386, but it was not completed until 1951 after nearly 600 years of const/ruction due to many twists and turns in the construction process. It's great to see it from the front, but if you go back, you can feel another splendor and beauty. You can go up to the top through stairs or elevators, and unlike other churches, it has a unique structure with a rectangular roof.
