Siena

The embodiment of a medieval city.

Siena is the embodiment of a medieval city. Its inhabitants pursued their rivalry with Florence right into the area of urban planning. Throughout the centuries, they preserved their city's Gothic appearance, acquired between the 12th and 15th centuries. During this period the work of Duccio, the Lorenzetti brothers and Simone Martini was to influence the course of Italian and, more broadly, European art. The whole city of Siena, built around the Piazza del Campo, was devised as a work of art that blends into the surroundings.[unesco]

Siena is one of the medieval cities of Italy with architectural treasures that amaze by its stylistic unity. The Palazzo Comunale, Torre del Mangia and the Fonte Gaia monumental catch us with a refined and old. But if you decide to visit the city during the Palio, you can relive with amazing detail medieval equestrian competition in an environment that you back hundreds of years in time.

Siena is small beautiful town that is using relegated to be a side day trip when visiting Florence. That would be a huge mistake. Stay a few days and explore the beautiful small streets and famous monuments.
