After breakfast, head to Siena, where time seems to have stood still in the heart of the Middle Ages. Strolling through charming alleys and red brick buildings, you will find yourself in front of the magnificent Duomo, one of the finest examples of Gothic architecture in Italy, enriched by works by Michelangelo, Donatello, and Pinturicchio and featuring an incredible marble mosaic floor (uncovered according to the calendar).
The tour continues to the unmistakable Piazza del Campo dominated by the Torre del Mangia, with its shell shape and unique atmosphere, the setting for the famous Palio. Here you will discover the fascinating history of the seventeen districts of Siena.
In the afternoon, we recommend visiting San Gimignano, a UNESCO site located a short distance from Siena, a well-preserved example of a fortified medieval town. The independent visit allows you to explore the historic center, characterized by 13th- and 14th-century towers that define the urban skyline. Of particular note are the Collegiate Church of Santa Maria Assunta, with cycles of frescoes from the Sienese school, and the Palazzo Comunale, home to the Pinacoteca and access to the 54-meter-high Torre Grossa.
