Whether religious or public, Siena's monuments are a testimony to the city's freedom and riches. You'll be delighted by the charm eminating from the city's alleys, squares and palace. Our video guides will help you to discover the major sights: Siena Duomo's baptistery, whose fonts are Renaissance masterpieces, the Cathedral with its remarkable tiling, the art museum with Duccio Boninsegna's Maesta and several works by Pietro Lorenzetti, Jacopo della Quercia, Donatello and Giovanni Pisano. La Libreria Piccolomini, a marvellous hall dedicated to the glory of Pope Pius II, is also worth a visit. Siena is also known for the piazza del Campo, famous as the venue for the annual Palio festival and horse race. By the square, you can find the Palazzo Publico, dominated by the grand Mangia tower. By climbing its 503 steps to a height of 102 metres, you will be rewarded by a magnificent view over Siena and the surrounding hills. Finally, we recommend a visit to the Siena Art Gallery, where you can find the great painters, inventors of perspective and of the Italian style: the Lorenzetti brothers, Simone Martini, Guido da Siena and many others.
