Siena and the Castle of the Four Towers

The city of Siena, which is famous for the Palio dell'Assunta, preserves both memories of the Gothic architecture, with the Dome and the Baptistery, and historic testimonies of the XIV century, with the Piazza del Campo where the Palazzo Pubblico and the Torre del Mangia are set.
Near the Dome, the Renaissance buildings Palazzo Chigi-Saracini and the Palazzo Piccolomini stand.
North of Siena, in the locality of Santa Regina, the medieval castle of the "Quattro Torri" can be visited only on the outside. It takes its name from the large towers that define its perimeter.
Continuing towards Gaiole in Chianti, one can reach the medieval Castle of Brolio with the Palazzo of the baron and the family Chapel, while in the nearby surroundings it is worth stopping to visit the Ricasoli wine-cellars that are famous for the production of a particular variety of the Chianti wine.
