view from the top of the

Favorite thing: This is just a smidgeon of the view you'll get from the top of the tower. Siena’s irregular medieval street plan really becomes evident.

Torre del Mangia-View of the Stairs

Favorite thing: This is what the stair well looks like. Not much room!

This is the reason why it is necessary to make reservations to climb it. There isn't enough room for two-way traffic.

Torre del Mangia

Favorite thing: "Torre del Mangia" is THE tower to climb in Siena. The view you'll get from the top is breathtaking. I snapped this shot right before the ascent.

Maria:

Favorite thing: If we're going to visit a church, then the least we can do is make a small donation and light a candle. It's a small price to pay to see such great architecture!

Siena's Cathedral

Favorite thing: Italian Gothic or Baroque? Well, whatever it is, it's beautiful. I found this to be one of the prettiest churches in Italy.
