Loggia of the Pope, Siena: Overall view, facing Piazza San Martino

Date

Circa 1910

Creator

Part of: Architectural Lantern Slides of Italy

Architecture Library, Hesburgh Libraries

An open portico built at the expense of Pope Pius II (Aeneas Silvius Piccolomini) which faces the Piazza San Martino. The small, three-bay loggia is exceptional for its lack of sculptural detail. Three elegant travertine arches are supported by columns with Corinthian capitals. Across the top is a plain entablature with the inscription PIUS II PONT MAX GENTILIBUS SUI PICCOLOMINEIS.
