Siena and its medieval heritage
Located 70 kilometers south of Florence, Siena transports you into the atmosphere of the Middle Ages. Its Piazza del Campo, shaped like a scallop shell, is one of the most beautiful squares in Europe. Twice a year, on July 2 and August 16, it hosts the famous Palio, an ancestral horse race that has ignited the city since 1644.
The Siena Cathedral, with its polychrome marble facade and marquetry floor, rivals the beauty of Florence's. Climb the 400 steps of the Torre del Mangia to take in the endless Tuscan hills.
Pisa and San Gimignano, between history and authenticity
Pisa is not limited to its leaning tower, 56 meters high. This university city of 90,000 inhabitants has an underrated historic center, perfect for romantic walks along the Arno. The Piazza dei Miracoli, a UNESCO World Heritage site since 1987, gathers four architectural masterpieces in a green setting.
San Gimignano, nicknamed the 'M&utm_id=464811359531_l_dcdg_394_DF_p_landing_page_sidebar widget_394;ediaeval Manhattan,' raises its 14 medieval towers towards the Tuscan sky.
