Siena Vacation Guide

Siena was one of my favorite Tuscan hill towns. It has an unrivaled central court with 9 different brick areas which is ideal for meeting with people and chatting about. They also have wonderful terra cotta artwork and stoneware for purchase as well as a fine selection of Alabaster. The city was also home to St. Catherine of Siena who experienced the stigmata. The house where she grew up is still standing today.

Additionally, Siena has a fantastic Cathedral with much Byzantine influence, and it is strikingly gorgeous inside. It is unlike many churches or Cathedrals you will find in Italy. They also have a treasure of Goric Chant books. HUGE books with gold leafing, and hand written Latin texts and chants.

Siena also has a unique social structure in the city, with it being divided into districts, each with their own flags and mottos and each with their own stories and personalities as well (apparently the Goose district has some arrogant people). These little communities are so endearing, I suggest you choose the one best suited for you and get the flag of that district to take home with you. Along with the districts comes the horse races. If you get the chance in June, you should come to experience them. No holds bar horse racing around the square...all for the pride of the district. There are colors, flags and traditional garb everywhere.

Perhaps most important are the gorgeous views Siena provides of the nature surrounding the town, climb a tower or a wall!

I avoided another quiet Sunday in Bologna by hopping a train to Siena. I had loved the Tuscan countryside on the trip to Firenze, and wanted to see more. The three hour trip to Siena was exactly what I had hoped for. There were cute villages and beautiful rolling hills. For me, the train ride could…
