Museo Civico, Art museum in Palazzo Pubblico, Siena, Italy

The Museo Civico occupies the first floor of Palazzo Pubblico, displaying medieval and Renaissance frescoes across several decorated halls.

Founded in 1930, the museum preserves the original meeting rooms of Siena's governing council, including the Sala dei Nove where city leaders conducted affairs.

The Sala del Mappamondo contains Simone Martini's Maestà, depicting Madonna with saints, and the equestrian portrait of military captain Guidoriccio da Fogliano.

The museum receives 150,000 visitors annually and provides wheelchair access through the Cortile del Podestà entrance in Piazza del Campo.

Ambrogio Lorenzetti's Allegories of Good and Bad Government frescoes from 1338 represent one of the first secular painting cycles of medieval Europe.
