Siena

Tuscany, Italy

Flexible Booking Policy

A delicious Tuscan delight.

Siena is a UNESCO-listed treasure-trove and Tuscany's largest hilltop town. Legend has it that after Remus cofounded Rome, his sons founded Siena. There's no evidence to support this tale, but there's been a Roman trading post here since at least the time of Christ. The city's strategic position was strengthened with the development of the Via Francigena, the road which linked Paris and Rome.

In its heyday, Siena was a rival to Florence. Florence eventually got the upper hand under the leadership of the Medici family and Siena was incorporated into the territory of Florence. This rich legacy can be seen throughout the old town of Siena, with its palazzos, towers and churches. Probably the most significant expression of Siena's history is wrapped up in the Palio di Siena, as much a show of neighborhood pride as much as it is a bareback horse race, this pivotal event takes place in July and August every year.
