Historic Center of Siena Highlights: Must-See Features and Attractions
Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
Siena is located in the southern Tuscany region, about 50 kilometers south of Florence, and was built at the confluence of three hills of the Chianti hills between Arcia and the Arce river valley. Founded in 29 BC, historically a center of trade, finance and art, it is now the capital of the province of Siena. Siena's urban buildings are dense and have a high degree of architectural unity. The reddish-toned bricks harmonize with the surrounding dark blue-gray hills. In addition to the elements of the Romanesque and Renaissance styles, the Italian Gothic style, which was influenced by the East during the Crusades and was expressed in the form of narrow arcades, played an important role. The numerous Gothic fountains, mostly built in the 13th century, add to Siena's splendor and harmony. Siena is a unique medieval city that retains its character and character. It really influenced medieval art, architecture and urban planning, not only in Italy but most of Europe. Siena's urban architecture is in harmony with the overall effect it creates with the surrounding cultural landscape. If Florence is the cradle of the Renaissance, then Siena itself is a work of art. Surrounded by the beautiful Tuscan countryside, this medieval ancient city still maintains its vigorous vitality after thousands of years of baptism, which naturally embodies the infinite love of Siena people for their hometown. Since the 12th century, the Siena people have clinging to a Gothic dream, and as a result, have entered into an enduring rivalry with Florence in city building.

意大利中部的锡耶纳有一个很漂亮的老城区,老城区中心是一个很出名的田野广场。环绕着这个圆形的广场有各种古老的建筑,包括市政厅和一座102米高的钟楼塔。 广场旁边有一座八百多年历史的大教堂。
It is exactly the same as imagined, the medieval old city, with some vicissitudes, the main color of the building yellow, the color of the main church looks very alternative, from Florence to come here very convenient.
If there is no arrangement for half a day in Florence, you must come to Siena to take a good walk, this is Italy's most famous medieval old city. Areas such as Shell Square maintain a very unique style.
A city in Tuscany known for its unique geographical environment, art, medieval architectural landscapes and horse racing festivals. The Old Town has been listed as a World Heritage Site
The whole village is like the medieval period. Florence's old rival village. Because it's a steep hill road, people with inconvenient legs may be very tired, but I want to go to the handsome village again.
When I went to Siena, the old town was still a place where I could not see a few Chinese tourists, and it was generally concentrated near the square. This is definitely an old city that retains many historical relics, just like many ancient towns that have not been developed by commercial development in China, it is original.
Most of the strategies are to take the train to Florence and then transfer to Siena, in fact, Siena is located between Rome and Florence, although it is closer to Florence, but so to go or detour, more tossing and wasting time. Some people choose to take the train from Rome to Siena. Although there is no detour, Siena is built on the mountain. The train station is under the mountain. Although there are escalators to go all the way up the mountain, it is still very tiring to carry large luggage. I recommend taking a long-distance bus directly, bus ticket official website: only 9 euros to buy tickets online in advance. It takes about2.5 hours from the Roma Tiburtina bus terminal to Siena Gramsey Square. Leaving Siena to the surrounding town is still taking a bus in Gramsey Square, but you need to look at the trains in advance and buy tickets by yourself.
