Cappella di Piazza, Gothic marble chapel at Piazza del Campo, Siena, Italy
The Cappella di Piazza stands beneath the Torre del Mangia tower, featuring marble pillars, Renaissance archways, and iron gates from the 14th century.
The chapel was constructed in 1352 after the Black Death epidemic, with Giovanni di Cecco completing the Gothic structure and its corner pillars in 1376.
The chapel contains sculptures in Gothic niches created by Mariano d'Angelo Romanelli and houses a Madonna with Child fresco painted by Il Sodoma between 1537-1539.
Located at the base of Torre del Mangia in Piazza del Campo, visitors can examine the marble details and ironwork while touring the main square.
The corner pillars underwent multiple reconstructions before reaching their final form, incorporating 13th-century marble pieces from the old baptismal font of Siena Cathedral.
