The
Palio of Siena
The Palio has its origin at the end of the 1400. All of Siena is passionately
involved in supporting the horse which represents their particular
Contrada, or district, during the race which takes place in the central
Piazza del Campo.
It is an annual event occurring on the 2nd July and 16th August. It
is an unmissable event drawing together both history, ancient costumes
and culture of Siena and sustaining the attention of Historians and
writers throughout the ages. The spectacle is complimented by flags
hanging in the streets, procession in Medieval Costumes, songs so
that one is caught up in the great passion which consume Siena at
this time of the year.
