About this quest

Welcome to Siena, where history breathes through stone streets and each step echoes with centuries of tradition. 

This quest invites you to uncover the secrets of the Contrade—17 ancient districts that are more than just neighborhoods. Born in the Middle Ages to support the city's defense, each Contrada grew into a proud, living community with its own symbols, rituals, and fierce identity.

As you explore Siena on foot, you’ll solve puzzles, follow clues, and discover hidden corners filled with stories. From fountains and flags to quiet churches and vibrant piazzas, this walking adventure is perfect for families and friends looking to connect while uncovering the soul of a city like no other. Will you discover which Contrada calls to you?

Highlights

  • What do these funny plaques with animals on the walls mean? The answer might surprise you — these animals are incredibly important to the Sienese.

  • Where do unicorns drink from? Why are there vibrant flags in churches?

  • Why do all these medieval traditions still exist today, and how old are they? Let's find out! Beware: Siena's Contrade are alive!

Good to know before you play

  • Ensure your phone is fully charged or bring along your trusty power bank
  • Route open 24/7 but better during daylight hours

This was a fantastic way to learn about the different Contradas of the city and see things that you wouldn’t ordinarily see. The Fonta Nuova in La Lupa Contrada is definitely worth looking at!
