Siena in Tuscany

THE CITY OF SIENA

Siena
Long a rival of Florence since the early days of the governing city-states, Siena is a picture-perfect medieval city center to the southeast. The rich red terra cotta rooftops are the namesake of the perplexing crayon color Burnt Sienna. The sixteen contrade, or neighborhoods, that make up the historical center wrap around the focal point of Siena: the majestic Piazza del Campo. This square hosts the world-famous palio bareback horse race every July 2 and August 16, where each of the sixteen neighborhoods compete against each other with a prize racehorse to win a portrait of the Madonna and a lavish ceremony in Siena’s impressive black-and-white marble Duomo. Treat yourself to one of Siena’s decadent almond cookies, ricciarelli, as you stroll along the cobblestone streets.
