SECRET SIENA WALKS half or full day
This itinerary is thought for the people who already know Siena or for all those curious visitors who are not only happy with famous monuments or overcrowded streets. With these walks, instead, they can see a wonderful labyrinth of little streets , fountains, fortified houses, towers once inhabited by noble families and tiny squares that keep the ancient history of the town unchanged. Untouched lanes as well as less famous churches, but not for this less rich in masterpieces, like Santa Maria dei Servi or San Martino, are to be visited. Hidden traces of old arts and crafts still live with an environment that seeps into the walls making the old fabric of the city quiver. Anecdotes ,mysteries, curiosities, forgotten stories, important characters of the past come alive in this tour for a really different history of Siena.

Via di Porta Giustizia
Named after the ones sentenced to death who had to walk along it to reach Poggio delle Forche, some miles outside the town, where, from 1298, the city executions took place. For instance, via dei Malcontenti, beyond piazza del Mercato ,was called like this because of the evildoers who where everything but happy to be taken through it.
