Chronicles of Siena
Siena, a medieval walled city, was founded in the 3rd century BC by the Etruscans and later became a Roman colony. The city's iconic Piazza del Campo, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, has been the heart of Siena's social and cultural life since the 12th century. The city's stunning architecture, a blend of Gothic, Renaissance, and Baroque styles, is a testament to its rich history. Siena's contemporary cultural identity is deeply rooted in its medieval traditions, with annual festivals like the Palio horse racing event and the Siena Jazz Festival attracting visitors from around the world.

Top Attractions in Siena
💡 Check for free guided tours on Saturday mornings. The reliquary containing her head is eerie but fascinating.
💡 Bring a picnic. It's less busy than the main parks. Paths can be steep — wear flat shoes.
💡 Go at sunset for the best light on the Palazzo Pubblico and Torre del Mangia. Early morning it's almost empty.
💡 Entry is €12 but the 'Porta del Cielo' rooftop tour costs extra. Go on a Sunday for free Mass entry — you still see the interior.
💡 Free on the first Sunday of each month. Otherwise €9. The underground 'sacred tunnels' are the highlight, not the modern art wing.
