Basilica di Santa Maria dei Servi
On Siena’s southern side, this church combines Coppo di Marcovaldo’s Madonna del Bordone with a broad view back toward the city from its square.
Why go
The painting gives a concrete reason to enter, while the church square rewards the walk even before you go inside. Its plain exterior and layered Gothic and Renaissance interior show how a medieval Servite foundation changed over time, away from Siena’s busiest central monuments.
What to look for
Coppo di Marcovaldo’s Madonna del Bordone is a key work inside.
The church square looks back across Siena.
The simple facade contrasts with the more elaborate interior.
Useful to know
Approach on foot with time for the steps and the view from the square.
Confirm current church visiting hours if the painting is your priority.
