NEARBY CITIES:

Siena - 15km

Siena is one of the most fascinating towns in Tuscany, not only for its sights, but also for its surroundings. It preserves its medieval character to a remarkable degree, and has been largely unspoiled by new buildings.

Piazza del Campo is one of the most famous squares in Italy, where the great Palio di Siena horserace takes place. In fact Siena retains a ward-centric culture from medieval times.

Each ward (contrada) is represented by an animal or mascot, and has its own boundary and distinct identity. Ward rivalries are most rampant during the annual horse race. The streets in Siena are steep as it was built on a ridge, and the town, can be basically visited by foot only.

Some known people were born in Siena, as it has always been a lively cultural center: Mauro Pagani, musician, Duccio di Buoninsegna, Saint Catherine, Ranuccio Bianchi Bandinelli, archaeologist and many more.

San Gimignano - 55 Km

San Gimignano is a small walled medieval hill town in the province of Siena, Tuscany, north-central Italy.

Known as the Town of Fine Towers, San Gimignano is famous for its medieval architecture, unique in the preservation of about a dozen of its tower houses, which, with its hilltop setting and encircling walls form "unforgettable skyline"

Within the walls, the well-preserved buildings include notable examples of both Romanesque and Gothic architecture, with outstanding examples of secular buildings as well as churches.
