Siena and the Via Francigena

Siena, “the daughter of the road,” grew to splendour thanks to its location along an ancient pilgrimage route known as the Via Francigena.  Churches, palazzi, and places of hospitality sprang up along this roadway the story of which, tightly bound up with that of Siena’s development, will be recounted to you with passion and entertaining anecdotes.  Come with me to visit Siena, retracing the footsteps of Medieval pilgrims!
