Torrita di Siena Virtual Walking tour – A Hidden Gem of Tuscany
Step into the heart of Tuscany and explore the charming medieval village of Torrita di Siena from the comfort of your home!
Join our expert guide as we wander through cobbled streets, ancient towers, and hidden corners filled with history and tradition. This small hilltop town, surrounded by stunning Tuscan landscapes, has a fascinating past dating back to the Middle Ages. Once a fortress protecting Siena, today it’s a peaceful gem waiting to be discovered.
But there’s something special about Torrita di Siena—its famous Palio dei Somari, a unique race where donkeys (yes, donkeys!) compete instead of horses. This event, held every March, is a celebration of local pride, medieval traditions, and the spirit of the town. During our tour, we’ll explore the historic piazza, learn about the ancient city walls, and uncover the stories behind this one-of-a-kind festival.
As we walk through the village, you’ll see breathtaking stone buildings, charming alleyways, and spectacular views of the Tuscan countryside. You’ll also discover beautiful churches, Renaissance frescoes, and local crafts that keep centuries-old traditions alive.
Whether you’ve visited Tuscany before or dream of experiencing it for the first time, this live virtual tour will transport you to the heart of authentic Italy.
