It is said that the Siena was first settled by Senius, son of Remus and nephew of Romulus around 700 BC. While the settlement didn’t grow much during Etruscan times, it blossomed into a formidable empire during the Middle Ages. Because the Empire fell in 1555, much of the beautiful city was never modernized and has retained its Medieval wonder. Today Siena’s charm makes it at least a one day must visit location in Tuscany, but for multi-day visits Siena also serves as a great jump off point to wineries in all directions.
