About this activity

Two magic hours to discover the city with Your children!

Children and adults will learn the city's history having fun and being enriched by anecdotes and legends from the Middle Ages!

Magic is hiding in plain sight....

Stroll around the streets of Siena to discover the mysteries, reach the ancient castle and discover the symbol of Siena, the she-wolf, which from the top of its columns protects us. Learn about the 17 districts that we call Contrade and find the animals that represent them. The Contrade participate to the horse race twice a year, an incredible event! Have fun to watch the videos, find the stables where the horses sleep for four days and the little fountains hidden through the streets where the Sienese are baptized.
