5Siena – The Medieval Jewel

While Florence steals the spotlight in Tuscany, Siena is a lesser-known medieval gem that offers a different perspective on the region’s history.

The city’s well-preserved medieval center, Piazza del Campo, and the magnificent Siena Cathedral are just some of the highlights. Siena also hosts the famous Palio di Siena, a thrilling horse race dating back to the 17th century, which showcases the city’s vibrant cultural traditions.
