SIENA. A modest settlement of Etruscan origin entered history under the name of Colonia Julia Saena in 29 BC. Siena is the embodiment of a an outstanding medieval city that has preserved its character and quality to a remarkable degree. Its influence on art, architecture and town planning in the Middle Ages, both in Italy and elsewhere in Europe, was great. Its inhabitants pursued their rivalry with Florence right into the area of urban planning. Throughout the centuries, they preserved their city’s Gothic appearance, acquired between the 12th and 15th centuries. The whole city of Siena, built around the Piazza del Campo, was devised as a work of art that blends into the surrounding landscape. The historic centre of Siena has been declared by UNESCO a World Heritage Site. It is one of the nation’s most visited tourist attractions. Hotels in Siena.

Siena is famous for its cuisine, art, museums, medieval cityscape and the Palio, the horse race. The Palio di Siena is a traditional (and controversial) medieval horse race run around the Piazza del Campo twice each year, on 2 July and 16 August. The event is attended by large crowds, and is widely televised.
