Not to be missed in your area: the visit to the medieval town of Siena...

Siena was founded by the Etruscan and became a Roman colony. During the 13th and 14th centuries it flourished as one of the major cities of Europe, growing rich from banking and the wool trade.

The 14th century saw a great amount of construction: the Duomo, the Palazzo Publico and the Campo Square were all begun then. Siena's glory drastically downturns by the end of the 14th century due to the Black Death and political upheaval. The city became little more than a rural market center.

It was exactly this decline that accounts for the incredible state of mediaeval preservation that Siena exhibits today. Built across several hills and valleys, you will find a bit of up and down while walking through the historical center. However, the lack of traffic makes it a wonderful place to stroll - even when packed with tourists it feels pretty quiet and easygoing.

A must see is the shell-shaped square called Il Campo. This is the focal place of the city as well as being the venue for the Palio.
