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. The tour also includes a detailed audio description of the spectacular interior of Siena Cathedral, covering its art, architecture and remarkable details.
