Every Friday, Saturday and Sunday in November, Siena offers a series of free guided tours in Italian (and English upon request).
4 itineraries are proposed to discover the city from unique perspectives:
- The Via Francigena in Siena
In the footsteps of pilgrims from Piazza del Campo to Porta Camollia, passing by religious sites and places of refuge, among history, faith and culture.
- The Sites of Saint Catherine of Siena
An itinerary touching on the sites that marked the life of the saint—from the Shrine House of Saint Catherine to the Cathedral, passing through the Santa Maria della Scala Archaeological Museum, where spirituality meets history.
- Siena and its Personalities
Discovering the Saints and Blesseds who have left an indelible mark on the city’s history.
