Province of Siena, Province of Italy in Tuscany.
Description
The Province of Siena is an administrative region in Tuscany that spans hilly terrain and encompasses 35 municipalities as well as medieval towns. The territory is shaped by valleys, mountains, and a network of villages nestled throughout the landscape.
History
The territory was the center of the medieval Republic of Siena, which built prosperity through banking and textile trade until the region came under broader political control in 1555. That era shaped the economic structures and urban centers that still define the landscape today.
Culture
The Palio di Siena, a horse race between city districts rooted in medieval times, continues to shape how residents connect with their territory. This event reflects the deep community bonds that define life across the province.
Practical
The province is linked by an extensive network of roads and paths that provide access to various attractions such as thermal springs, wine regions, and communities. Visitors can move freely and explore different destinations based on their interests and pace.
Did you know?
The Monte Amiata mountain, which rises within this province, is the highest point in the region and offers sweeping views across the entire valley from its heights. The mountain held historical importance for mining operations and local crafts.
