Since the mid 1600s the Palio di Siena has been run for both the July 2nd and August 16th race in the city’s famous city ‘square’, Piazza del Campo. The piazza is not in a typical square or rectangular shape, but more in the shape of sea shell, curved at the top, flat on the bottom. The race is run (3 laps) in a clockwise direction around the perimeter of the piazza.
