Travel Tuesday: Siena Siena is one of the most famous and appreciated medieval cities in the world and it’s a timeless journey between beauty and taste in the Chianti hills of Tuscany. The beating heart of the historic center, which gathers history, art and atmosphere of the city, is Piazza del Campo. Declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the city owes its fame especially to the Palio that animates the historic village in July and August. The Palio, the famous competition between districts, the “carriera”, as it is traditionally defined, has delivered the thrill and tradition of the medieval equestrian joust to the contemporary world. Standing 88 meters high, the Torre del Mangia stands out in Piazza del Campo as one of the tallest ancient towers in Italy. The area around Siena makes it the perfect destination to combine landscape, culture and winemaking tradition. #Siena #Chianti #Tuscany #Toscana #Italy
