Siena, Medieval university town in Tuscany, Italy
The city spreads across three hills at 322 meters elevation, featuring narrow streets leading to the central Piazza del Campo.
The Republic of Siena maintained its independence from 1125 to 1555, developing into a major commercial and financial center during medieval times.
The city divides into 17 contrade districts, each with its own flag, emblem, and traditions that influence daily social interactions.
The Monte dei Paschi bank, established in 1472, continues to operate from its original headquarters in the Palazzo Salimbeni.
The Palio horse race occurs twice during summer in Piazza del Campo, where riders represent their districts without saddles.
