Sienna
(Siena in Italian) is
second only to Florence as a Tuscan "art" town, and, for
many, its much smaller size and the absence of traffic in the
historical centre make it more than the equal of Florence as a
place to enjoy the treasures of Romanesque and Renaissance Italy,
as well as the modern Italian lifestyle. The wonderful expanse of
the Piazza del Campo and the Duomo are the most
important destinations for tourists visiting Siena, closely
followed by the Palazzo Pubblico and the Ospedale di Santa Maria della Scala in Siena.
The palio horse race takes place twice a year and is one of the
most important festivals of Tuscany.
Worth an extended visit. More information about
