Siena, Italy

Well, Let go to Italy 2gether~~

A country whose history is as rich as its food and wine, Italy remains a popular travel destination. Tourists tend to flock to this nation for its breathtaking views, vibrant culture, and abundant historical monuments. As with most popular tourist destinations, there’s simply too much in Italy to absorb in a single trip, and deciding which places to visit — and which to avoid — can be unnecessarily stressful.

Siena is my favourite attraction that make me fall in love to Italy....

As the capitol of its province, this city has recently been claimed as a historical World Heritage Site. Its historical buildings include the likes of the famous Siena Cathedral, 

the Piazza del Campo, 

and the Piazza Salimbeni. 

Many of these buildings feature Romanesque-Gothic architecture, and so would make ideal places to visit for any architecture or art history enthusiasts. 

Even for those unfamiliar with such fields of study, the intricacies and sheer scale of Siena’s stunning cathedrals are sure to impress.

These locations also house some of Italy’s famous frescoes. These historical pieces of art consist of images painted onto wet plaster.  Their current faded colors and cracks only add character to their beauty. You may see frescoes by famous artists like 

Domenico Beccafumi 

and Ambrogio Lorenzetti.

Another famous facet of Siena is its famous  Palio run. 

If you time your visit well, you may be able to see one of these famous horse races. They are held in Siena twice each year, and both races occur in the summer. The horses race around the central piazza two times, and this is in respect of a tradition held since medieval times. As Siena’s travel site points out, you may be familiar with this race if you’ve ever seen the James Bond film the Quantum of Solace. This is a hugely popular event, so if you’re planning a visit to Siena during one of the Palio runs, be sure that you book your lodging well in advance.

My opinion, travel to this place will no regret .

That all~ Bye SIENA~

See you SooN!
