4. While the tower is situated at the lowest point of the city, it is by far the highest building. Torre del Mangia is visible from far away and has an incredible panoramic view, if you choose to take on the challenge of climbing all of the stairs to the top. Construction on the tower started in 1338 and it took ten years to complete, while the oldest clock was placed before that happened.

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).
