Siena Center

Explore Siena at your own pace with this self-guided audio tour.
This audio guide takes you through Siena's medieval heart in one relaxed walk — past the striped marble of the Duomo, the shell-shaped Piazza del Campo where the Palio has been run since 1633, the spring waters of Fontebranda, and the frescoed Piccolomini Library. Between the landmarks, the route follows quiet alleys and contrada corners most visitors walk straight past, with stories about the rivalries, legends, and traditions that still shape the city today. Once activated, the tour stays valid until the end of the next day, so there's plenty of time for an espresso on a terrace or a long lunch in a trattoria along the way.

De Duomo (Siena Cathedral)

A masterpiece in black and white: This cathedral is anything but modest.

The Duomo of Siena is one of the finest examples of Italian Gothic architecture. Inside, you’ll find marble floors, works by great masters and an interior richer than you might expect.

Basilica di San Domenico

A special detail: A relic of Saint Catherine is preserved here.

The Basilica di San Domenico is dedicated to Saint Catherine of Siena. Its simple exterior contrasts with the important religious role it plays in the city.

Piazza del Campo

The heart of Siena: The city has gathered here for centuries.

Piazza del Campo is one of the most distinctive squares in Italy, famous for its shell shape. It is also the setting of the historic Palio horse race.

Piccolomini Library

Art in every detail: This space is a celebration of color and storytelling.

The Piccolomini Library, located inside the cathedral, is known for its vibrant frescoes. They depict the life of Pope Pius II and bring history to life.

Fontebranda

Imagine this: This was a place of work, washing and everyday life.

Fontebranda is one of Siena’s oldest fountains and supplied the city with water for centuries. It reveals how essential water was for residents and local crafts.

Santa Maria della Scala

From hospital to museum: A place that has constantly evolved.

Santa Maria della Scala was once one of Europe’s first hospitals and stands directly opposite the cathedral. Today, it is a cultural center filled with art and history.
