- Basilica Cateriniana Di S. Domenico - The Basilica of San Domenico is situated on the slopes of Siena’s historic center, surrounded by houses that “ascend” beneath the Duomo. It is one of the city’s most significant churches, particularly due to its connection with Saint Catherine of Siena’s life. Constructed between 1226 and 1265 and expanded in the fourteenth century, the Basilica of San Domenico has experienced numerous events over the centuries, including fires, military occupations, earthquakes, interventions, and modifications. These have contributed to its distinctive Gothic style, defined as Cistercian, and it is noted for its unique relationship between the exterior and interior.
- Duomo di Siena - The Duomo di Siena (viewed from outside) is a medieval church in Siena, Italy, originally dedicated as a Roman Catholic Marian church and now dedicated to the Assumption of Mary. Built between 1214 and 1263, it features a Latin cross structure, a modestly protruding dome, and an adjacent bell tower. Both the exterior and interior are adorned with blocks of white marble, interspersed with thinner greenish-black stripes, which are the emblematic colors of Siena.
- Piazza del Campo - This is the heart of Siena, the center of the historic area recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and one of the world’s most beautiful squares. Piazza del Campo is shell-shaped, divided into nine sections, commemorating the Nine Lords who ruled the city at the end of the thirteenth century. It captivates with its elegance and unique shape. Named for its past as a green space hosting the market, Piazza del Campo is now the city’s living room and the open-air arena where the renowned Palio is held twice annually. Each year, on July 2 and August 16, the piazza, paved in pietra serena, is covered with a layer of earth, a mix of tuff and sand, where the district horses compete in a swift race.
