Japanese: カンポ広場 - カンポひろば
Campo Square - Campo Square
A square in the center of Siena, a city in central Italy. It is a beautiful, gently sloping fan-shaped square located a little below the Siena Cathedral at the top of the hill, with three streets stretching out along the ridge of the hill from this square. This square is also famous as the place where the horse race of the Palio festival is held every summer. Around the square is the Palazzo Pubblico, built between the 13th and mid-14th centuries and currently used as the city hall, with the Mangia Tower rising to the left of the palace. From the top of the tower with 400 steps, you can look out over the city of Siena. In the Middle Ages, Siena was the center of art as well as Florence, the rival city of Florence, as the center of Tuscany. Around this square, remains and appearances that tell of the prosperity of that time remain.

イタリア中部の都市シエナ(Siena)の中心部にある広場。丘の頂上にあるシエナ大聖堂を少し下ったところにある、穏やかな傾斜のある扇状の美しい広場で、この広場を中心に、丘の尾根に3つの通りが伸びている。この広場は、毎年夏、パリオ祭の競馬競技が行われる場所としても有名である。広場の周囲には、現在市庁舎として使われている、13世紀から14世紀半ばにかけて建設されたプブリコ宮殿が、その宮殿の左端にはマンジャの塔がそびえている。400段の階段の塔の頂上からはシエナの市街を見渡すことができる。シエナは中世、トスカーナ地方の中心としてフィレンツェと肩を並べる芸術の中心で、フィレンツェのライバル都市である。この広場の周辺には、当時の隆盛を今に伝える遺構や佇まいが残っている。
