Siena City Tour + Cathedral

At the appointed time, we'll meet in Piazza Salimbeni, by the Sallustio Bandini statue, to start this guided tour of Siena. We'll then head to Piazza del Campo to discuss the Palio di Siena, an equestrian competition held since the Middle Ages.

We will walk through the historic center of Siena, admiring façades like that of Palazzo Tolomei and Palazzo Salimbeni, which reveal Siena's past. We will also see the Basilica of San Domenico, known for housing a mummified head.

Next, we'll approach Piazza del Duomo for a guided tour of the baptistery and the Siena Cathedral. Inside, we will see notable masterpieces, including La Maestà by Buoninsegna and a sculpture of St. Paul by Michelangelo Buonarroti.

After an hour-long guided tour, we'll conclude at the Cathedral.
