- Duomo di Siena - The Siena Cathedral, majestically situated in the city square, is one of Italy’s most distinguished Romanesque and Gothic cathedrals. Tradition holds that the current Cathedral replaced an earlier church dedicated to the Virgin Mary, built in the 9th century or so, on the site of a temple dedicated to the cult of Minerva.
- Torre del Mangia - Situated in Piazza del Campo, this tower, also recognized as a symbol of Siena, was constructed between 1338 and 1348. Built with brick and featuring a stone cornice and belfry, it boasts a light and elegant design. It is named after its first bell ringer, Giovanni di Balduccio, who was known for squandering his money, particularly on fine food, earning him the nickname Mangiaquisti, or Earnings Eater, shortened to ‘Mangia’. His tenure was brief as the first mechanical clock was installed in 1360, but the nickname remained associated with the tower.
- Basilica Cateriniana Di S. Domenico - The grand structure of the Basilica of San Domenico visually represents the influence of the Dominican friars in Saint Catherine’s Siena. Saint Francis and Saint Dominic pioneered a unique way of living the religious life, well-suited to the emerging commercial cities.
- San Gimignano - The medieval town of San Gimignano developed due to its strategic geographical location, making it a favored route for pilgrims, particularly from France, traveling to Rome.
