Cathedral

 Siena, a small town in the Tuscany region of Italy, is one that is full of history. Like many of the other towns it has an old part that is surrounded by a large stone wall.

We only had one night here which we spent wandering the streets & eating & drinking in the cafe/restaurants.




Typical street in Siena

 The Piazza del Campo was full of entertainment with different groups of people playing & singing to entertain the crowds.

The square is famous for it's horse race called Palio of Siena. It is a race which basically has no rules & only lasts a couple of minutes; a horse can win even if its rider has fallen off! Unfortunately we were not here to witness the event however we really enjoyed our evening.
