Itinerario

1. Start your walk at the Piazza Salimbeni in the heart of Siena. Just open the app nearby to begin exploring a city that claims to be the true heir to Rome, founded by twins on horses of black and white!

   10 min

2. Stand in the world's most beautiful drainage basin, a red-brick amphitheater where the gravity of history pulls you toward the center of Sienese life.

   15 min

3. Observe this Gothic fortress where a lookout once screamed battle updates from the roof, now serving as a world-class conservatory for much more harmonious sounds.

4. Behold the "maximalist" soul of the city, wrapped in zebra-striped marble to remind everyone that Siena’s roots are as fierce as the She-Wolf guarding its base.

   20 min

5. Check out the 13th-century watering hole that was so famous it got a shout-out in Dante’s Inferno and still serves as a neighborhood baptismal font for the "Goose" district.

6. View the massive, austere brick fortress of faith that houses the mummified head of St. Catherine, the woman who successfully convinced the Pope to stop hiding in France.

7. Wrap up your tour at St. Catherine's House. Take a moment to enjoy the view before ending your tour at the humble workshop of a dyer’s daughter who moved the Papacy and the heart of Siena.

About Siena

Siena is a medieval Tuscan hill city of red-brown brick, known for its shell-shaped main square, its striped cathedral and the twice-yearly Palio.

Siena was Florence's great rival in the Middle Ages, and its historic centre, a UNESCO site, still looks much as it did then. Il Campo, the shell-shaped square, slopes down to the Palazzo Pubblico and its slender tower, the Torre del Mangia. The cathedral, striped in white and dark green marble, has a pavement of inlaid scenes and a library of painted manuscripts.

Top-ranked sights in Siena: Piazza del Campo, Siena Cathedral (Duomo di Siena), Mangia Tower (Torre del Mangia).
