Pienza is a city in Tuscany with a rich history as well as numerous cultural delights. Visit the grand and elegant Piazza Pio II square surrounded by the city hall, with its belltower and the magnificent Duomo (cathedral) that dominated the square. The Palazzo Piccolomini family palace is also well worth a visit, and for art lovers, be sure to stop off at the Diocesan Museum filled with church paintings. There are also spectacular “View Terraces” where you can admire the beauty of the Tuscan countryside. Weekly markets are held and if you don’t fancy cooking, then check out delicious gourmet eateries.
