Claim: Bruna or Rocca Bruna tower was one of the highest towers in the city in competition with the tower of Mangia, located not so far from Piazza del Campo (the main public space of the historic center of Tuscany); and like most of Siena's towers, it was "shortened" in the sixteenth century.
Evidence: Once, the Bruna or Rocca Bruna tower was the one of the highest towers in the city in competition with the tower of Mangia, located not so far from Piazza del Campo. Like most of Siena's towers, it was "shortened" in the sixteenth century. Piazza del Campo is the main public space of the historic center of Siena, Tuscany, Italy and is regarded as one of Europe's greatest medieval squares.
