Siena is a magical city with an air of antique and indescribable mystery that pervades the streets, piazzas and contrade (district). From Piazza del Campo, famous in the world for the horse race, the Palio, with the Palazzo Pubblico and the Torre del Mangia to the Duomo, to Santa Maria della Scala complex considered the third artistic pole of the city.
