35 km from our B.& B. Del Giglio

Magical and enchanting city, famous for the Palio (an ancient horse race that takes place in the central square of the city, “Piazza del Campo”) and for the “historic center “ a UNESCO heritage site.

The steep medieval streets, the well-preserved buildings that flank them, wind and flow around to give us access to the particular and very original square, shaped like a shell, appreciated all over the world, to continue then and get to the other, beautiful monument, in pure Gothic style, one of the most spectacular in Italy “the Duomo“. The interior (not to be missed) is Spectacular, with the “Inlaid marble floor“ the Piccolomini Library “the Panels of the Pulpit by Pisano” and finally the terrace of the “Facciatone” (upper part of the unfinished nave which was to incorporate the current Cathedral) from which you can enjoy a Spectacular Panorama over the rooftops of Siena on Piazza del Campo and on the side of the Duomo.

Most important things to see:
Cathedral – Piazza del Campo – Fonte Gaia – Torre del Mangia – Palazzo Pubblico – Civic Museum – Palazzo Piccolomini – National Picture Gallery – House of Santa Caterina – San Domenico – Medici Fortress.
