For day 1 I was in the city of Siena ....



Outside & Inside the Duoma






This square is where the famous Palio horse race is run evey year ... and has done since the 14th century



The street lights, and Contada name ... in their regions colours

The oldest bank in Europe, started in 1472

City walls


One thing I didn't photograph was the actual specific Contradas .... I have decided I must have beed Sienese in a previous life, as one of the 17 groups is named for the giraffes ... my favourite animal
Typical Tuscany
