You step off the bus and the square opens: vast, shell-shaped Piazza del Campo presses warm brick underfoot while medieval rooftops tilt toward the Tuscan sky. The riddle hunt pushes you into narrow alleys, past worn stone portals and through small piazzas where merchants once bartered cloth and salt. Clues nudge you to lift your gaze—balconies, coats of arms and carved dates become the map.
