Siena: History and Masterpieces

by Piero Torriti

This guide covers all the major (and minor) sites of interest in Siena, describing them in detail and picturing them in full color. The reader is taken on several short walks, enabling a simple itinerary to be planned to ensure that the maximum benefit is gotten from a short visit. Visitors with more time will want to linger and explore many of the sites described in great detail. The book includes a compendium of useful information, including restaurants, hotels, emergency phone numbers, and opening times of museums and galleries, banks, libraries and markets. A fold-out city plan on the heavy plasticized back cover will guide you easily around the city.
