Siena

It's as though by losing power and influence in medieval times, Siena managed to retain and condense her beauty. She successfully uses the illusion of distance in turn to conceal and reveal: narrow confines, upon exploration, give out onto skyishly wide spaces. The slower one moves here, the wider the city becomes.
