Historic Centre of the City of Pienza, Renaissance town center in Pienza, Italy
The historic center features symmetrical streets radiating from Piazza Pio II, with the Cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta as the central monument point.
Pope Pius II transformed the medieval village of Corsignano into Pienza between 1458 and 1462, creating a model of Renaissance urban design.
The Cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta combines Renaissance and Gothic elements, displaying German architectural influences through its large windows and pointed arches.
The historic center contains numerous shops selling pecorino cheese, while restaurants offer traditional Tuscan dishes and local agricultural products.
The Palazzo Piccolomini features a hanging garden with a loggia overlooking the Val d'Orcia, presenting views of Monte Amiata and the surrounding landscape.
