Siena may not be alike Florence, its perpetual contender and fellow citizen to the north, in largely artistic accomplishment, but its liveliness and charisma fashions it a place incomparable to any other. Centered on Piazza del Campo - the site for the grand Palio horse race - the significant locality is a receptacle of 12th century Gothic, a glistening epitomize of the Middle Ages, and a work of art that fusions with the neighboring metropolitan backdrop. Packed with gems of architecture and edifying highlights, counting the Duomo, the Palazzo Salimbeni, and The Pinacoteca Nazionale, the celebrated Centre of Siena is a awe-inspiring tour back in time.
