THINGS NOT TO MISS IN PIENZA
Pienza is small, but it’s a really interesting village, despite its size. Its architecture has made it famous all over the world.
PIAZZA PIO II
In the first place I would definitely be Piazza Pio II, the main square of Pienza.
On this square there are the Duomo or Cathedral of Assunta, the Municipal Palace, Pallazzo Borgia and Palazzo Piccolomini. All buildings to visit.
CORSO ROSSELLINO
Piazza Pius II is crossed by Corso Rossellino, which runs through the village from „Porta al Prato“ to „Porta al Ciglio“. This is the street in which the main business, shops, bars and restaurants are concentrated.
Very famous in Pienza is also the Pecorino cheese (sheep milk cheese) that you can buy right in this street.
VIA SANTA CATERINA
Just off the Door to the Meadow, crossing the public gardens, you will find Santa Caterina . An avenue that runs along Pienza and overlooks the wonderful Valley below, the Val D’Orcia.
Give yourself a walk in this place, better if at sunset time and with a camera. The sunsets from here are among the best you can see. Not to mention the „sweet“ church you will see in this boulevard. It is called „Church of St. Catherine“ and dates back to the end of the 17th century.
VIA DEL CASELLO
Another Pienza panorama that will offer you a beautiful view of the Val D’Orcia is Via del Casello, overlooking 3 picturesque streets: Via del Bacio, Via della Fortuna and Via del Amore .
PIEVE OF CORSIGNANO
Follow the directions from the center of Pienza, or just ask, and go to the Pieve di Corsignano. It is less than a kilometer from the center and is the church where Pope Pius II was baptized.
This Romanesque church dates back to the 7th century but the present style dates back to the 12th century. It is located in a wonderful location from which you can continue and reach the famous street where the „Gladiator“ (Campi Elisi) was shot, and is surrounded by a garden where, on sunny days, you can meditate or just take a break from the outside world.
