Siena

The city of Siena extends over 3 hills of tuff (fragmental rock made of stratified volcanic ash) in central Tuscany, bordered on the north by the Chianti region and the Crete Senesi to the south.
The heart of Siena is undoubtedly the Piazza del Campo, with its spectacular Palazzo Pubblico and the Torre del Mangia from which it is possible to enjoy a beautiful view of the city. The square is also theatre to one of the main folkloric events in the city, the Palio of the Contrade, a horse race between the various districts of the city.
The Siena Cathedral, with its splendid façade in polychrome marble, is an exceptional example of Roman-Gothic architecture. Inside, it is possible to admire the marble pulpit by Nicola and Giovanni Pisano, a masterpiece of Italian Gothic sculpture.

San Gimignano

San Gimignano, known as the City of Beautiful Towers, is a classic medieval walled hill town in Tuscany, famous for its 14 surviving medieval towers creating a beautiful skyline visible from the surrounding countryside. Near San Gimignano you can also visit Volterra, an interesting hill town that sees fewer tourists.
