Famous Landmarks
Piazza del Campo
43.3188°N, 11.3308°E
Piazza del Campo, a shell-shaped square divided into nine segments, is considered one of the most beautiful medieval squares in the world. Twice a year, it hosts the Palio, a frenetic horse race between the city's contrade, a tradition dating back to the 13th century.
Siena Cathedral
43.3188°N, 11.3308°E
Siena Cathedral, dedicated to Our Lady of the Assumption, is a masterpiece of Italian Gothic. Begun in the 12th century, it dazzles with its polychrome marble facade, its historic pavement of 56 engraved marble panels, and its pulpit sculpted by Nicola Pisano.
Torre del Mangia
43.3188°N, 11.3308°E
The Torre del Mangia, standing 102 metres tall, is the bell tower of the Palazzo Pubblico on Piazza del Campo. Built between 1338 and 1348, it offers an exceptional panorama over the Tuscan hills and Siena's red rooftops. Its name comes from its first keeper, nicknamed the Eater for his legendary appetite.
Why gift a star map of Siena?
Gifting a star map of Siena means immortalising a moment in Italy's most authentically medieval Tuscan city. From Piazza del Campo to the Crete Senesi hills, Siena is a setting where time seems suspended. Every star above this preserved city captures the nobility of a timeless moment, between Palio tradition and the gentle Tuscan countryside.
The sky of Siena
At 43.3 degrees north latitude in the heart of the Tuscan hills, Siena benefits from relative distance from major urban areas, offering a night sky of remarkable quality. The Crete Senesi, a landscape of clay hills stretching endlessly south of the city, provide an unobstructed 360-degree horizon ideal for observing constellations in absolute countryside silence.
