It is exactly the same as imagined. The medieval old town has a sense of vicissitudes. The main color of the building is yellow. The color of the main church is very different. It is very convenient to come from Florence.

If there is no arrangement for half a day in Florence, you must come to Siena for a good walk, which is the most famous medieval old town in Italy. The shell square and other areas maintain a very unique style.
Siena was once a rival city with Florence. The main church is naturally the focus of the visit. Although it is not more famous than the Basilica of Santo Fiore, it is still a very majestic and beautiful church. First-level theater.
There are still many scenic spots in the ancient city, but it’s a pity that we have rushed in time to take a closer look. The following is the reference content, I hope I have the opportunity (when the epidemic is completely over) I can go again: ▪️Municipal Museum ▪️Manja Tower ▪️Conchistoro Hall ▪️San Giovanni Baptistery ▪️Archaeological Museum ▪️Cathedral Opera Museum
When I went to Siena, the old town was still a place where few Chinese tourists could be seen, and it was usually concentrated near the square. It is definitely an old city with many historical relics, just like many ancient towns in China that have not been developed commercially.
Temporarily decided to go to Siena for a day. It is a two-hour drive from Florence. There are many trains and it is very convenient; the ancient city is bigger than I expected, the medieval architectural style is very well preserved, and various distinctive shops are scattered all over the street. Alley, here you can also see the beauty of Tuscany, a lot of greenery, and there is an oil painting-like scenery in front of you. At this time, no language can express its beauty, only to see it with your own eyes; leisurely and aimless walking everywhere It is very pleasant to walk around!
Siena is located in the southern Tuscany region, about 50 kilometers south of Florence, between the Alcia and the Artha valley, the three small mountains of the Chianti. Founded in 29 B.C., Siena is historically a trade, financial and art center, with the city's typical Gothic style. The popular dessert "Tiramisu" originated from here~ free time, we chose to wander around the small streets near the square, the European town is really suitable for wandering, full of style, always meet friendly people, often have surprises~ met two Chinese restaurants, Haha, it says that this time I can eat a Chinese meal every day, or comfort the stomach of these travelers. If I eat half a month of Western food in a row, I can drive me crazy. I didn't make a strategy before I came. I don't know that the architecture of Siena has a long history, unified style and extremely high achievements. The bricks with a light red tone are in harmony with the surrounding dark blue-gray hills. The Gothic style of Italy, which was influenced by the East during the Crusades and was presented in a narrow arcade, was important in addition to the Romanesque and Renaissance styles. Most of the numerous Gothic fountains built in the 13th century add to Siena's magnificence and harmony. Siena is a unique medieval city that really influenced medieval art, architecture and urban planning, not only in Italy but also in most of Europe. We just skimmed around the city, the cathedral, the opera museum, the music school, the brunda fountain did not see, stolen two guide photos, next time I have a chance to go again, to walk around the city, organic margin also to see the famous horse race festival.
