Siena - Santa Maria dei Servi

The Banchi di Sotto and the streets which continue in the same direction lead to the Church of Santa Maria degli Servi, at the southeast end of the old town. It was originally built in the 13th century but was altered in the 15th-16th centuries in the style of the period. The plain facade was left unfinished; the Romanesque campanile which flanks it has four orders of windows, increasing in number from level to level so as to enhance the effect of perspective.
