We reached the Medieval city of Siena driving south from Florence, through the beautiful hills of Tuscany. We arrived at the Piazzo del Campo, which is famous for the Palio. In the same piazzo stands the Palazzo Publico where we saw some of the most important frescoes of Siena's artistic heritage. We spent time drawing and painting scenic views from the balcony. We ended our day visiting the Cathedral of Siena with it's beautiful frescoes, stained glass windows, and inlaid marble floors. This was definitely our favorite cathedral.
Stained glass windows are always a great touch. The cathedral sounds impressive. Are you going to post pictures of your artwork? I'd love to see them!
