Siena We will head towards the South of Tuscany to visit Siena. The historical enemy of Florence.

Many battles were fought between the two cities. Only once Siena defeated Florence, 1260 4th september battle of Monteaperti. The rivalry is still strong as the sienese say that the best thing that happened to Florence was the 1966 flood that almost drowned the entire city. Siena is the medieval and gothic jewel of Tuscany, not having been effected in great manner by the Renaissance period. Thanks to our official permits, we will drive through the pedestrian narrow, windy roads of the city to reach the beautiful recently rennovated cathedral, right in the heart of town. Once we park the car, we will walk you through main street and to one of the most breathtaking squares in Italy, Piazza del Campo. This is where the Palio Horse race is held; twice a year, July 2nd, August 16th. This is the reason the people of Siena are so proud Of their roots. Walk through the streets the days before the race and every citizen in the streets is putting up an act making it seem like they are part of an open air theatre play Will then give you some free time until lunch time. San Gimignano Only one hour and half to reach the medieval village of San Gimignano, passing through the most wonderful Tuscan countryside. The rolling slopes are covered with vineyards and silvery green olive grows, like a picture.

Only this spectacle would be more than enough to enjoy this tour! Fortified walls and watchtowers show power and prosperity in the Middle Ages. Only thirteen of the town's original 76 towers remain. Enjoy your time to stroll the narrow cobbled streets taking San Gimignano's sights, Piazza della Cisterna, the Collegiata in Piazza del Duomo, a Romanesque cathedral known. Monteriggioni castle Included in the tour we will offer you a short stop at Monteriggioni Castle, the most majestic and powerful castle of the Italian Middle Age. In fact, due to the type of its fortification, Monteriggioni remained an invincible fortress for three centuries. From the time of its construction in 1213, it resisted every siege, thus ensuring freedom to the Republic of Siena until 1554 when, without any battle, was conquered by the Florentines and that because of a betrayal only!
