Siena is a classic example of a medieval city. The inhabitants of Siena competed with Florence in the area of urban planning. For centuries, they preserved the city's Gothic appearance, which was developed between the 12th and 15th centuries. During this period, the work of Duccio, the Lorenzetti brothers and Simone Martini influenced the development of art in Italy and throughout Europe. The entire city of Siena is built around Piazza del Campo and is designed like a work of art that blends in with the surrounding landscape.
