These are the top ten sights in these Tuscan towns.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Siena<\/strong><br \/>Piazza del Campo. The impressive square in the centre of Siena, with its pink-tinted buildings, is one of the most beautiful medieval squares in Europe. From the network of narrow alleyways, you enter the Piazza del Campo like a stage. The spacious, rounded square is the highlight of the city. The Palazzo Publico and the Torre Magno are well worth a visit. <br \/>The town hall in Piazza de Campo is also a popular and exotic location for weddings.<\/p>\n<p>Duomo di Siena. The outstanding Gothic cathedral on the Piazza del Duomo in Siena has one of the most beautiful facades of any Italian church. Inside the cathedral are a number of outstanding works of art.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Florence<\/strong><br \/>Cappelle Medicee. Piazza Madonna degli Aldobrandini is home to the Medicis' private chapel and mausoleum, where some of Michelangelo's most exquisite works can be admired. The chapel is open daily from 8.30 to 5.00, on Sundays only until 1.30.<\/p>\n<p>David. Michelangelo's David is located in the Galleria dell'Academia, Via de Ricasoli. The statue of David is one of the most famous and outstanding works of art of the Renaissance and is an essential part of any visit to Florence. The gallery houses five other statues by Michelangelo as well as a variety of outstanding Gothic and Renaissance paintings. The gallery is closed on Mondays, otherwise it is open all day.<\/p>\n<p>Museo Nazionale del Bargello. In Via del Proconsolo you will find the National Museum with the largest collection of Renaissance sculptures, paintings, silver and tapestries. <br \/>The museum is only open in the mornings.<\/p>\n<p>Museo di San Marco. The ancient monastery of San Marco, Piazza San Marco, is famous for its collection of excellent frescoes and paintings by Fra Angelico. Many of the famous paintings are exhibited in the Ospizio del Pellegrini, the room that once offered pilgrims food and shelter.<\/p>\n<p>Santa Croce. The famous church in Piazza Santa Croce contains Giotto frescoes as well as the tombs of Galileo, Michelangelo and Machiavelli.<\/p>\n<p>Galleria degli Uffizi. From Piazza della Signoria you can reach the Loggiato degli Uffizi, where one of the world's best Florentine Renaissance galleries is located.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pisa<\/strong>. Few sights are as clearly recognisable as the Leaning Tower of Pisa. Construction of the tower began in 1173, but it was demolished after only three storeys by the 13th century. The tower leans to one side due to the sandy subsoil. For centuries, architects have been working on methods to stabilise the tower. However, it is precisely its leaning position that makes the Tower of Pisa a unique sight.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><strong>San Gimignano<\/strong><br \/>Collegiata di San Gimignano. A series of very well-preserved frescoes almost completely covers the most important church in San Gimignano. In addition to this church, there are 13 famous medieval towers in San Gimignano.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The most beautiful and popular cities in Tuscany include Siena, Florence, Pisa and the somewhat lesser-known San Gimignano.
