Logge del Papa, Renaissance loggia in Siena, Italy
The Logge del Papa features three arches with Corinthian columns made of travertine stone, positioned next to San Martino church.
Antonio Federighi constructed this building in 1462 following a commission from Pope Pius II as a gift to the Piccolomini family.
The Latin inscription on the architrave reads 'PIUS II PONT MAX GENTILIBVS SVIS PICCOLOMINEIS', indicating the connection between the Pope and his relatives.
The structure includes metal chains surrounding the columns, implemented during initial construction to address stability concerns that emerged.
The building's facade displays papal emblems crowned with the papal tiara, marking the influence of religious authority in Renaissance Siena.
