Castelvecchio, Medieval neighborhood in Siena, Italy.
The district extends across the highest hill of Siena with three parallel streets that follow the original Roman layout of Saena Julia.
During the 11th century, the area was enclosed by defensive walls, representing the first fortified settlement of what would later become Siena.
The house of Renaissance painter Domenico Beccafumi stands at number 35 Via Sarrocchi, featuring a facade allegedly designed by the artist himself.
The district connects directly to Siena's main transportation routes and provides access to numerous local shops, cafes, and historical buildings.
The neighborhood contains an oval-shaped building structure that remains visible in the modern street pattern, marking the ancient castle layout.
