Siena

Siena lies on three hills above the Arbia valley in central Tuscany, its compact medieval districts of brick streets surrounded by the rolling countryside between Chianti and the Crete Senesi. At its centre, the shell-shaped Piazza del Campo slopes towards the Palazzo Pubblico and Torre del Mangia. The square hosts the Palio di Siena, a bareback horse race held on 2 July and 16 August by ten of the city’s seventeen contrade. Siena Cathedral is distinguished by its striped marble façade, while the historic centre has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1995.
