Stop At: Siena, Siena, Tuscany
Siena can be seen from afar shining perfectly in its medieval balance. The three hills on which it sits stand out in an idyllic country landscape. Siena, intact for centuries, shows itself to a large extent as it appeared in the 1300s, and the preservation of a unique and coherent medieval architectural heritage is one of the main reasons for visiting a splendid city, long aware of the fragility of its balance: it was in fact the first municipality in Europe to close the historic center to traffic, as early as 1966.
