Description
Siena is an enchanting city, distinguished by its medieval sienna-coloured brick buildings. The fan-shaped central square, Piazza del Campo (world famous for the Palio horse races), is the site of the Palazzo Pubblico, the Gothic town hall and the Torre del Mangia, a slender 14th-century tower with sweeping views from its distinctive white crown. The city’s 17 historic “contrade” (districts) extend outward from the piazza. Siena has a magical feel and provides a lovely day out, with some great restaurants for lunch.
