IN HONOR OF THE 'TIMELESS'

THE PALIO
This is the Central Piazza of the ancient town of Siena. To be here - even today - is to touch history.


Here, twice a year is held the famous "Palio" one of the world's more famous celebrations which includes a horse race around the square. This has its roots in 11th Century traditions.
