The townscape of Siena as late medieval city is produced by City Hall with other numerous private palaces. They show the standardized facades with ornamental elements unique to Siena. Before the diffusion of bricks, cavernoso limestone was the typical building material in Siena between 12^<th> - 13^<th> centuries and continuously used for tower-house that had had no ornamental element and also for elegant palaces such as Palazzo Tolomei. The study on the facades of cavernoso and its ornamental elements indicates the origin of the designed facade and its distribution on urban tissue shows the embryo of the Sienese townscape.
