An itinerary in the heart of Siena, among the cobbled streets and districts that preserve the history and identity of the city. Approximately 7.3 kilometres of urban route that winds through squares, churches and unexpected views, perfect for those who want to discover Siena at the slow pace of a bicycle.

From the Medici Fortress, we set off towards the Basilica of San Domenico, guardian of the memory of Saint Catherine, and enter the historic centre, passing by the Baptistery and the Cathedral, authentic treasure troves of art. From Piazza del Campo, the beating heart of the city, the route then winds its way through the sandstone-paved alleys, touching on the historic headquarters of the Contrade. You can admire the Basilica of Santa Maria dei Servi with its panoramic view of the city and Porta Romana (1327), the ancient gateway to the Cassia. Crossing the territories of Nicchio, Leocorno and Giraffa, you reach the Collegiate Church of Santa Maria in Provenzano, linked to the cult of the Palio. The route continues towards the Basilica of San Francesco, touches Porta Camollia and ends again at the Medici fortress. An experience that combines the pleasure of cycling with the discovery of the Contrade, amid art, faith and unique views.
