Located in the Tuscan region of Siena, it was established as early as 29 BC and has become a medieval city. A group of passionate architects have built Gothic architecture throughout the city, comparable to Florence, and it has become a World Heritage Site.

The morning in the old town of Siena is very quiet, and there are not many people in the alleys. The labyrinthine alleys are filled with Gothic architecture from the Middle Ages. Italians' working hours are relatively late, and it is gradually bustling around noon.

Piazza delle Tartinelle (Shell Square) is the center of the old city, and all the streets in the old city lead here. Every summer, the famous Palio horse race is held here. During the day, you can bask in the sun and drink coffee on the square, which is the leisurely way of the Italians.

The place where you see the most people in the old city is Piazza delle Tartinelle (also known as Piazza del Campo), which is one of the largest medieval squares in Europe. The red brick buildings in front of the square are the Siena City Hall. The shape of the square is like a shell, and the fan-shaped channel is for tourists to walk. Italians like to sit on the square and enjoy the sun, fully enjoying themselves. There are also many cafes, souvenir shops and restaurants around the square, showcasing the city's ancient charm and unique lifestyle.

There are also the highest building in the city, Torre del Mangia, if you have time, you can climb the 55 floors of stairs to the top of the tower, and you can see the entire Siena old city in front of you, which is beautiful. In fact, the best way to open Siena, Tuscany, is by self-driving. The scenery along the road is the characteristic countryside and pastoral scenery of Tuscany. Jay Chou and Kun Ling also came to Italy to travel, revisiting the place, which is really romantic. When they came to Siena, they also chose to drive, without noise and bustle, and all eyes were full of medieval Tuscan charm.

Unintentionally came to Siena University, which is similar to Heidelberg University, scattered throughout the old city.

Siena University is one of the oldest universities in Europe and the world, the Piazza del Campo campus feels relatively new, but entering the corridor still exudes a retro atmosphere, as if crossing into a campus in European movies.

Many graduates of this school have become famous Italian lawyers, writers and doctors. The atmosphere in the campus in the afternoon is still very pleasant.

Siena's campuses further uphill look older, with more historical walls. In such a medieval old town, the campus also has a sense of history.

Siena old town is very small, you can walk around the main streets in 2 hours. It's good to wander aimlessly without a navigator, and you will occasionally pass by a historical site.

The old city is a typical Italian mountain city, with hilly terrain and buildings built into the mountains. Climbing the hillside, you can see the layered red roofs and gray-blue Tuscan countryside, just like a series of pastoral oil paintings.

When you enter here for the first time, you will feel like you have traveled back to the Middle Ages. It is also a mountain city, the houses are built into the mountains, the houses are of different heights, the roads are undulating and crisscrossed, and the narrow and deep streets are like labyrinths.

Walking in the streets and alleys, you will have a sense of mystery, and you will find that this ancient city, although a little mottled in a hundred years of wind and rain, still shows the city's unique city charm.

On a sunny day in Siena, there are with fruit along the roadside, which is a bit literary in the sunshine. For centuries, this old city's Gothic architecture is not as luxurious as the Baroque but is a masterpiece in its own right.

Walking in the old city is like walking through a painting in the Middle Ages. The ancient buildings exude the charm of this old city.
