Originally an Etruscan settlement and later the Roman city of Sena Julia, Siena has had a long and storied past. The primeval foundations of the city are immediately apparent as one enters the city’s tiny streets lined with ancient buildings. A long time competitor of Florence, this hill-set city is a must see location for any traveler in Tuscany.
In addition to a boasting a rich history, Siena’s main palazzo is widely regarded as one of Europe’s finest perfect for long lunches.
The city’s famous bareback horserace, Il Palio, which pits the city’s 17 contrade or familial districts against one another, dates from the 11th century. The race, which officially gives thanks to the Madonna, is a spirited affair taking place twice a summer in the Siena’s main palazzo.
