Siena was built on three hills and is home to one of the most authentic and important Gothic cathedrals south of the Alps. Admire the city’s architectural masterpieces, the unusual shell-shaped Piazza del Campo which beauty has been entrapped in many films and photographs.
In Piazza del Campo, a brick-covered square twice a year takes place the ‘Palio’ horserace.
