Siena City Tour + Cathedral
Siena City Tour + Cathedral
At the appointed time, we'll meet in Piazza Salimbeni, right by the Sallustio Bandini statue, to start this guided tour of Siena from one of its most emblematic squares. Ready to discover all its history?
We'll then head over to the Piazza del Campo, where we'll talk about the famous Palio di Siena, an equestrian competition held here since the Middle Ages. It's still very popular today and has become a tourist attraction in the city.
Then, we'll start walking through the historic center of Siena, admiring the façades of important palaces like Palazzo Tolomei, which was inhabited by illustrious personalities. Nearby is the Palazzo Salimbeni, whose external architecture will also give us clues about Siena's past.
We'll also see the Basilica of San Domenico, an imposing religious building that houses one of the most venerated relics in Tuscany: a mummified head! Do you know who it belongs to?
Gradually, we'll approach Piazza del Duomo for a guided tour of the baptistery and the Siena Cathedral.
Inside the cathedral, we'll see a large collection of masterpieces. Among them are La Maestà of Buoninsegna and the sculpture of St. Paul carved by Michelangelo Buonarroti himself!
After an hour-long guided tour, we'll say our goodbyes at the Cathedral.
