San Giovanni, the Baptistery square, is unanimously acknowledged to be one of the most beautiful spots in Siena. The square, often called the city’s drawing room, is the most fascinating and historically atmospheric area to be found anywhere in the city, and the Historic Residence that has hosted such celebrated figures as Pope Alexander VII and such world-famous architects as Francesco di Giorgio Martini, Louis Kahn and Le Corbusier, the Bistrot-Café with its unparalleled regional wine list and the Restaurant “In Carrozza”, a venue of excellence in the city’s gastronomic panorama, all give right onto it.
