Although we did not climb up the city tower we did climb the spiral stairs to the Panorama.

Restoration is a never-ending job.
Santa Maria della Scala was a working hospital until just a few years ago. Now it is a labyrinthine maze of galleries focused on restoration and archeology. Two old chapels are part of the hospital. One was a special one where St Catherine of Siena went to pray for peace. Frescoes in the main hall pictured life in and around the hospital in the 15th century. This particular fresco is considered an accurate portrayal of a general ward.
