Piazza del Campo is the clear starting point, yet the city's character emerges as streets rise away from it. Towerhouses and views across the three ridges reveal how Siena's medieval fabric follows the terrain. Its former independence as a republic adds meaning to the civic centre.
What to look for
Piazza del Campo forms the heart of the historic centre.
Gothic lanes and towerhouses carry the medieval city up the hills.
Views across Siena's three ridges show how the town fits the landscape.
Useful to know
Allow for climbs between the Campo and the upper streets.
Treat churches, towers and museums as separate visits with their own entry details.
