Duomo di Siena – starting point of Siena scavenger hunt
· Baptistery of St John
Siena is a city that is mainly known for its art, architectural beauty, and most importantly its museums
It is not only important because of being a religious building in Italy of high importance but it is a historical site as well. Its construction was started in the mid-11th century and the building is made in a Romanesque architectural style which brings a unique vibe. With a lot of architectural beauty, this is surely the best place to start exploring Siena.
· Palazzo Piccolomini
Your second major stop in Siena is going to be this palace that dates back to the 15th century. It was opened to the public in 1963 and the building has some stunning views because of its Renaissance architectural style. If you are up for architectural exploration in Italy, then it counts as one of the main sites to visit.
· Loggia del Papa
It is another historical building dating back to the 15th century. Another common thing about this building is that it is made in the Renaissance architectural style, but it is still unique because it is an open-air arcade. This location can be your perfect picture background because of its architectural beauty.
· Tower of Mangia – Siena scavenger hunt
The construction of this tower was completed in 1348 which took almost a decade and the tower with the building accompanying it provides some stunning views of the place. At the time when it was built, it used to be the tallest secular tower in the whole of medieval Italy.
· Pubblico Palace – Siena scavenger hunt
It is known as the Town Hall in Siena which was built in the late 13th century. It had an important political history from the time it was built. The Palace was the seat for 9 elected officials for performing executive functions including the judicial manners as well. The building itself is made in a gothic architectural style.
The attractive part about its exterior is that the tower and the top two stories are made with the red brick exterior while the lowest story is made from stone in grey tone.
· Pinacoteca Nazionale di Siena
You might be waiting to visit some amazing museums in Siena and your wait is finally over. This is a national Museum in Siena that was inaugurated in 1932. This museum is dedicated to the historical art of the region, so it contains paintings from the late medieval and Renaissance eras from the Italian Artists. Apart from the artifacts it has, the interior of this building looks stunning as well.
· Santa Maria Della Scala
It is another amazing museum in Siena. In the earlier days, it used to be a civil hospital. The hospital was dedicated to the poor and abandoned children and the revenue model of this hospital was supported by donations primarily. However, now the building is used as a museum containing several artifacts.
The attractive part about the building is that it has been constructed in a Roman Catholic architectural style that looks amazing from the inside as well as the outside.
· Facciatone – ending point of Siena scavenger hunt
Facciatone is an observation point that is the best place to end your exploration trip to Siena. This point is present on the top of an unfinished church façade, so it contains views of Piazzas as well as towers that are centuries old.
