If you have never been here, the Siena Orientation Tour is what you need to discover the city. In fact, this itinerary allows you to see the most important aspects of Siena. From the celebrated Piazza Del Campo (Main Square) where every year for centuries the famous Palio horse race is run, to the Palazzo Pubblico (Town Hall) where we find the frescoes “The Allegory of Good and Bad Government” by Lorenzetti and the “Maestà” by Simone Martini, to the Cathedral with masterpieces by Michelangelo, Donatello, Gian Lorenzo Bernini, Pinturicchio and Nicola Pisano. The Cathedral is also world-wide famous for its magnificent inlaid marble floor with stories from the Old Testament and pagan fonts. From the Salimbeni square, home to the historic Bank of Monte dei Paschi, founded in 1472, to the Basilica of San Domenico that houses the relics of the body of Santa Caterina. Therefore, this is a journey back in time rich in anecdotes and curious information discovering how daily life was conducted in medieval times and what exactly is the “Palio”.
