Discover Siena

Siena, the heart of Tuscany and eternal rival of Florence, is one of Italy's most fascinating cities and a monumental stop on the Via Francigena. Declared a World Heritage Site, its Gothic historic center seems to have stopped time. The city's epicenter is the incomparable Piazza del Campo, an oval-shaped square where the famous horse racing event of the Palio takes place. For pilgrims, sitting in this square to contemplate the Palazzo Pubblico and the Torre del Mangia is a magical moment. Siena's other great treasure is its Duomo (Cathedral), one of Italy's most spectacular Gothic masterpieces, with its white, pink, and green marble façade, historical mosaic floor, and works by Donatello, Michelangelo, and Pisano housed within. Siena offers an unparalleled cultural and sensory experience. With all the necessary services, it invites a long pause to immerse oneself in its beauty and history, a milestone that deeply marks the pilgrimage through Tuscany.
