点评:Well, as I go back and revisit the places our school trips went to, passing through Siena was wonderful. I can't get enough of visiting places in Tuscany. Towns full of beauty, history, wine and great food. Siena is a great place to go on a school trip. It isn't that big and students enjoyed the sites, food and shopping. I looked forward to having my lunch in one of the restaurants in the Piazza. The center point of Siena that is also a historic center is the Piazza del Campo. It is one of the most well known piazza's in Italy. It is home to the famous Palio horse race. A race that is held twice a year where horses from the different Contradas (sections/towns of Siena) are dressed in their colors. The race is 2 times around the Piazza. In the buildings that encircle the Piazza are restaurants, coffee and souvenir shops. I was looking forward to going back to the restaurant I visited last time there. The restaurant has local dishes and great views of the Piazza. I felt for what I got, it was a very reasonable price. As in all my reviews, you will get a little history of the place. This area was once used as a Medieval marketplace. This market place would have people from nearby communities to gather and trade.
The stand out building in the Piazza is the Palazzo Publico building with the Torre della Mangia attached next to it. Palazzo Publico still serves as Town hall and it also is home of the Museo Civico. Palazzo Publico was built between 1297 and 1310. It was later that Torre della Mangia was built in 1325 - 1344.
The Torre della Mangia dominates the view in the Piazza. It stands out at 285 feet (taller if you want to include the lightning rod). The bell inside was installed in 1666 and weighs 14,770 pounds. If you can. climb the tower to the top. It has close to 400 steps and an amazing view of Siena and the surrounding countryside.
翻译:回想起我们学校旅行去过的地方,途经锡耶纳真是太棒了。我对托斯卡纳的一切都充满了热情,那里的城镇风景优美,历史悠久,美酒佳肴令人垂涎。锡耶纳是学校旅行的绝佳目的地,它规模适中,学生们都很喜欢那里的景点、美食和购物。我期待着在广场上的餐厅享用午餐。锡耶纳的中心,也是历史中心,就是田野广场(Piazza del Campo)。它是意大利最著名的广场之一,也是著名的帕利奥赛马节的举办地。这项赛事每年举办两次,来自锡耶纳各个街区(Contradas)的马匹身着各自的颜色参加比赛。比赛绕着广场跑两圈。广场周围的建筑里有很多餐厅、咖啡馆和纪念品商店。我非常期待再次光顾上次去过的那家餐厅。这家餐厅提供当地特色菜肴,还能欣赏到广场的美景。我觉得就我所吃到的而言,价格非常合理。正如我所有的评论一样,这里也会介绍一些关于这个地方的历史。这片区域曾经是中世纪的集市,附近社区的人们会聚集在这里进行交易。
广场上最引人注目的建筑是市政厅(Palazzo Publico),旁边是曼吉亚塔(Torre della Mangia)。市政厅至今仍是市政厅,同时也是市立博物馆(Museo Civico)的所在地。市政厅建于1297年至1310年间,而曼吉亚塔则建于1325年至1344年间。
曼吉亚塔是广场上最引人注目的建筑,高达285英尺(如果算上避雷针,高度会更高)。塔内的钟安装于1666年,重达14,770磅。如果你能做到的话。登上塔顶。塔顶有近400级台阶,可以欣赏到锡耶纳及其周边乡村的壮丽景色。
