Before that, it was a small, unassuming village formed by the ancient Etruscans-specifically, a tribe that called themselves Saina, which scholars suggest might be where Siena got its name.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Always fighting their neighbors, particularly their rivals Florence and Pisa, the city of Siena was built with protection in mind. The ancient city walls still stand today. They are seven kilometers long and contain 12 separate ports for entry into the historic city center. Inside the walls, the city remains much the same as it did in medieval times. The gothic architecture and artworks that fill the beautiful buildings are nearly perfectly preserved. Some of the greatest painters of the 13th-14th centuries (when Siena was at its peak of importance in Italy) were born in Siena, and their greatest works are still on display throughout the city. This includes the likes of Duccio di Buoninsegna, brothers Ambrogio and Pietro Lorenzetti, and Simone Martini. The city of Siena is so well preserved that the historic city center has been declared a UNESCO World Heritage site.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">On your drive from Locanda le Piazze towards the city of Siena, you will pass through the beautiful Chianti region, with rolling hills, olive fields, and vineyards. The entire drive is pleasant and beautiful. As you approach the city center, you will drive along the ancient city walls, eventually passing through a gate and entering the city. Once inside the gates, we recommend finding a place to park and leave your car; then, take on the city by foot. Meander, stop to smell the theoretical roses, or actually stop to smell (and drink) a second cappuccino, and enjoy your stroll as you make your way towards Piazza del Campo.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4cc0f42a elementor-hidden-mobile elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\"

or \u201cthe Campo\u201d for short. It is situated where the three main roads of Siena intersect. In ancient times, it was the place where three separate hilltop towns met in the valley between them. Standing in the center of the piazza and looking all around you, you will notice that all of the buildings lining the square have similar architectural styles and looks. This was not by accident. In 1297, the government of Siena declared that all buildings in the square must observe a strict set of rules, forming one harmonious look.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Contrary to being called a \u201csquare\u201d in English, this piazza is not a square shape at all. From a bird&#8217;s-eye view, the square looks like a seashell: red bricks outlined in grey with thin lines of white bricks replicating the \u201cgrooves\u201d of the shell. These lines meet together at a vertex, pointing towards Palazzo Pubblico, the government seat of Siena. The nine sections of red brick, separated by the white lines, represent the nine ruling governors of the time. Today, Piazza del Campo is most famous around the world for hosting an ancient game called Palio, a fast-paced bareback horse race run around the outskirts of the piazza.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5f96a167 elementor-hidden-mobile elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"5f96a167\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-75b97818 elementor-section-stretched elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"75b97818\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;stretch_section&quot;:&quot;section-stretched&quot;,&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-28b57720 animated-slow elementor-invisible\" data-id=\"28b57720\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\" data-settings=\"{&quot;animation&quot;:&quot;fadeInLeft&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2e40cc6d elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"2e40cc6d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7ad77a64 animated-slow elementor-hidden-desktop elementor-hidden-tablet elementor-invisible elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"7ad77a64\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_animation&quot;:&quot;fadeInRight&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1242\" src=\"https:\/\/onebelvedere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/sienna-in-tuscany-italy-2023-11-27-05-29-30-utc.jpg\" class=\"elementor-animation-grow attachment-full size-full wp-image-4208\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/onebelvedere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/sienna-in-tuscany-italy-2023-11-27-05-29-30-utc.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/onebelvedere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/sienna-in-tuscany-italy-2023-11-27-05-29-30-utc-300x194.jpg 300w, https:\/\/onebelvedere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/sienna-in-tuscany-italy-2023-11-27-05-29-30-utc-1024x662.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/onebelvedere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/sienna-in-tuscany-italy-2023-11-27-05-29-30-utc-768x497.jpg 768w, https:\/\/onebelvedere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/sienna-in-tuscany-italy-2023-11-27-05-29-30-utc-1536x994.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/onebelvedere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/sienna-in-tuscany-italy-2023-11-27-05-29-30-utc-600x388.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5fab52d7 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"5fab52d7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Palazzo Pubblico\n<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3588994a elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"3588994a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2c0fc7b elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"2c0fc7b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The main attraction lining Piazza del Campo is the old government building called Palazzo Pubblico (Public Palace). Today, the building is used to house the Civic Museum. You can purchase tickets for the Civic Museum alone, or, if you think you will walk rather quickly through this museum, get a combined ticket for the Civic Museum and the Torre del Mangia, Santa Maria della Scala Museum, or the National Art Gallery of Siena, or any combination of the above. For the purpose of this itinerary, I suggest the Civic Museum and Torre del Mangia combined ticket.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Palazzo Pubblico is big and beautiful. First built in 1297, this civil seat of authority was the headquarters of the nine governors of the Republic of Siena. Now it is a museum dedicated to the history of Siena. If history doesn\u2019t interest you, don\u2019t fret. The main attraction of this museum isn\u2019t actually the museum\u2019s collection itself. Instead, it is the sight of the interior of the building in which the museum is held. The grandiose walls of Palazzo Pubblico are sure to take your breath away. The ceilings are covered in magnificent frescoes.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d34cf04 elementor-hidden-mobile

The name comes from its old bell ringer, Giovanni di Balduccio. This man was known by the residents of Siena for wasting his money, and the citizens gave him the mean nickname of \u201cMangiaguadagni\u201d (Earnings-eater), or, \u201cMangia\u201d for short. This tall tower will replace any cardio workouts you had planned for the day, and offer you the most spectacular bird&#8217;s-eye view imaginable of the Tuscan countryside. From the base to the tip of the lightning rod, this tower stands 102 meters high. If you are able-bodied, save your energy for a climb to the top of this tower. More than 200 steps later, you will be rewarded for your efforts with a panoramic view of Siena and the surrounding hilly countryside.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #889281;\"><em>Fun fact: the Tower of Mangia is as tall as the highest point of the Cathedral of Siena. This was by design, to represent the equality of Church and State, publicly signifying that neither one is above the other.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6f1807c7 elementor-hidden-mobile elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"6f1807c7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-1395b42 elementor-section-stretched elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"1395b42\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;stretch_section&quot;:&quot;section-stretched&quot;,&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-64e882bf animated-slow elementor-invisible\" data-id=\"64e882bf\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\" data-settings=\"{&quot;animation&quot;:&quot;fadeInLeft&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-578ea4ec elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"578ea4ec\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-430b8ded elementor-hidden-desktop elementor-hidden-tablet elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"430b8ded\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\" src=\"https:\/\/onebelvedere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/particolare.jpg\" class=\"elementor-animation-grow attachment-full size-full wp-image-4210\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/onebelvedere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/particolare.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/onebelvedere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/particolare-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/onebelvedere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/particolare-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/onebelvedere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/particolare-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/onebelvedere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/particolare-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/onebelvedere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/particolare-600x450.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-62e2020e elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"62e2020e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Fountain of Gaia\n<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-645b5570 elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"645b5570\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-405c81c3 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"405c81c3\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">On the opposite side of Piazza del Campo stands a beautiful fountain. The Fountain of Gaia (joy) is rectangular-shaped and lined with statue figures. Unfortunately, none of those statues are the originals. Instead, the originals are stored, safe and secure, in a museum. The entire fountain is a shrine to the women, animals, and religious stories most dear to the Sienese people. The focal point is a statue of the Madonna and Child. Lining the walls of the fountain are reliefs portraying the biblical story of Genesis. Water spouts out of the mouths of wolves, paying homage to the legendary she-wolf that raised Remus and Romulus.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">After visiting Piazza del Campo and climbing the Torre del Mangia, you will, undoubtedly, need a rest break and some food. Stop for lunch at any of the restaurants that fit your fancy. Check the menu for local specialties. I highly recommend any pasta featuring pici.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5fcc5021 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\"

The Siena Cathedral, more lovingly known as the Duomo by residents, is a glorious architectural feat made of white stone and marble. The Cathedral complex is made up of seven components: the cathedral itself, Piccolomini library, the works museum, the panorama, the crypt, the baptistery, and the Gate of Heaven. Pre-purchased tickets will allow you one-time access to all of the components of the Duomo complex.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-671cb40c elementor-hidden-mobile elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"671cb40c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-5425e157 elementor-section-stretched elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"5425e157\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;stretch_section&quot;:&quot;section-stretched&quot;,&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-2aa1ddf7 animated-slow elementor-invisible\" data-id=\"2aa1ddf7\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\" data-settings=\"{&quot;animation&quot;:&quot;fadeInLeft&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4f0af93d elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"4f0af93d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-27d9792e elementor-hidden-desktop elementor-hidden-tablet elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"27d9792e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1277\" src=\"https:\/\/onebelvedere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/siena-cathedral-on-sunrise-italy-2024-10-18-06-01-42-utc.jpg\" class=\"elementor-animation-grow attachment-full size-full wp-image-4212\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/onebelvedere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/siena-cathedral-on-sunrise-italy-2024-10-18-06-01-42-utc.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/onebelvedere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/siena-cathedral-on-sunrise-italy-2024-10-18-06-01-42-utc-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/onebelvedere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/siena-cathedral-on-sunrise-italy-2024-10-18-06-01-42-utc-1024x681.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/onebelvedere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/siena-cathedral-on-sunrise-italy-2024-10-18-06-01-42-utc-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/onebelvedere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/siena-cathedral-on-sunrise-italy-2024-10-18-06-01-42-utc-1536x1022.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/onebelvedere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/siena-cathedral-on-sunrise-italy-2024-10-18-06-01-42-utc-600x399.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-28673e2f elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"28673e2f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta\n<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-416bcb40 elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"416bcb40\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-49c779f9 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"49c779f9\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Cathedral of Siena is officially known as the Cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta.
