Let's visit medieval Siena and immerse in the mysterious world of the Contrade. But what are they? Contrade are both districts of the old city and close-knit communities. They emerged in the Middle Ages, for troops supply and recruiting. 
All significant events in the lives of the Sienese — births, weddings, holidays — take place within their native Contrada. 
Each one has its own museum, fountain, square, and church. A contrada preserves its flag and motto — much like a small state.
