Siena, the golden age
This is a classical itinerary to discover the medieval Siena. The city reached its demographic and economic peak between the XIII and the first half of the XIV century. Most of its monuments and works of art witness this glorious past.
The tour starts at San Domenico church, where the relics of Saint Catherine of Siena are kept. We continue on the main road Banchi di Sopra, the former "Via Francigena", pilgrimage road leading to Rome, one of the main destinations for a Christian pilgrim. The following stop is the main square, Piazza del Campo, the natural centre of the city. Its shell-shaped heart made of bricks is like a warm carpet of "burnt Siena" color. From here we walk to the top of the hill where the majestic Cathedral stands, unfolding its exceptional works of art, among which we find masterpieces of Michelangelo and Donatello.
