Sienna Italy

We had a great day.  Left Florence around 9:00 and drove around 1 1/2 hours to see the Abbey of San Gaigano.  It was beautiful- the grounds so impressive.   Before we left there we stopped at a wine and food bar for some lunch.

Just an FYI - there are many, many pictures!

 

 

 The rest of the day was spent seeing beautiful Siena.   We went to the Piazza Del Campo and it Torre del Mangia.  Then it was onto the Siena Duomo where we saw the baptistery, crypt, museum dell opera and the Piccolomini library.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Our final stop was St Catherine’s basilica where you can see Saint Catherine’s head- they have no idea why it has not decayed with time.   Ended the day with a delicious dinner in Siena before driving back.
