Siena is a beautiful old walled town perched on a hill with a huge shell shaped plaza fronted by the old town hall and tower, now a museum. The marble cathedral is also huge and contains many sculptures and works of art by the old masters, Pisano in particular. We saw all the sights including the creepy crypt and I went part way up the tower to take some photos. Enjoyed coffee and cakes in Nannins (the place to go apparently) and wandered the lovely narrow streets before returning, a bit tired and wet, but having dodged the heaviest showers.
