Itinerary
-
Visit to Piazza del Campo and Siena's Contrade
- Start from the main square, Piazza del Campo, the heart of Siena, home to the Palazzo Pubblico, where the most illustrious figures administered justice. Piazza del Campo, whose particular shape resembles a shell, is right in the city centre. Considered the most beautiful and famous medieval square in Europe, it has been chosen as the set of famous international films and every year it is an object of desire of thousands of tourists.
- Why is it the heart of the city? What is the meaning of the word “Campo”? What kind of events have the Sienese organised here since the Middle Ages, and to whom are they dedicated? During this tour, you will have the chance to discover everything about our culture and traditions, which are deeply rooted in our daily life since the Middle Ages.
- See the Church of Santa Maria in Provenzano as the protagonist for the Palio in July and the Cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta for August, where the winning Contrada goes to celebrate such a special moment.
- Visit one of the Contrade, particularly its fountain, its oratory, its stable and above all its museum! Every Contrada has its own and unique museum, but all of them are linked by history that costs as if it were a precious casket.
